I’m going to be honest and say this is probably my favourite book in the Karin series thus far.

Whilst I have enjoyed all the Karin stories I have had this strange love-hate relationship in which I have wanted more. With this one, however, the things which had annoyed me with the prior books seemed to disappear. I felt as though the prior books contained a lot of starting and starting, the story not flowing as well as I would have liked, yet with this one such is not the case. Events seem to move at a much smoother rate and at a speed I was much happier with.

In fact, I think the only thing which annoyed me this go around was Mac’s character. I’d been somewhat annoyed with him in the last book but in this one I suddenly found myself disliking his character. It did not affect my enjoyment of the story, but I am somewhat disappointed that I’ve come to dislike his character as in the first book I really enjoyed the way he was there for Karin.

Still, this book is my favourite thus far. It’s such a great crime story, with so much going on. I especially loved the questionable motives of characters we have come to love in past book. Overall it works to make the book a much more interesting read than the first two.

My only regret is that I do not have the next book to read!
