This was a good second installment in the Odelia Grey series. I still love how Jaffarian writes Odelia’s character - although it seemed to me that Odelia was slightly less sassy in this book. It was also a more somber read than the first book in the series, but I think it’s setting up the rest of the series well. I love - more than anything else - Odelia’s morality and honest reaction to challenging events. It seems very realistic.
I also enjoyed the ending - it was satisfying enough but also ambiguous enough to provide a good lead into book 3.

This one was a bit trickier for Odelia to solve ... too many suspects! I still like Odelia but I don't like some of the choices she made while investigating this as well as in her personal life. Not going to give up on her yet since there are quite a few books in this series. She has moxie and a big heart but needs to not be afraid to trust it and herself.

I didn't care for this one as much as the first one. The plot, in which Odelia investigates the murder of a client she barely knew, just didn't seem feasible to me. I didn't get drawn into the book and barely skimmed the last half just to get it over with. I'll put it down to sophomore slump, as I am interested in reading the next book in the series and hopefully it'll pick up a bit.

Oh how I've missed Ms. Odelia Grey. I read the first novel in this series as an ARC when I was much younger and loved it. This book had the same feeling for me and more. I lived the drama, the twists, the intermingling of personal and mysterious. I can't wait to pick up the next one and find out what trouble she gets up to next!

I didn't like this one quite as much as the first one. But that is just my opinion.
