I have read them all but this one leaves some weird loose ends. Plus Helen and her sister do something that just doesn't make sense. You will have to read it to find out.

I just finished Half Price Homicide by Elaine Viets, in her Dead End Jobs series. Helen's mother dies, which presents a whole new ball game. There is of course a murder or two which must be solved as Helen works in an upscale resale ship.

I'm not a fan of this author's writing style. It seems like two different people wrote this book. In one chapter, the main character mentions another character in the book, and in the next chapter, when that same character is mentioned, she has to be reminded who he is. This happens in book-time maybe a day after she was talking about him.
Character personalities aren't consistent or realistic. I get the feeling this series is just the author's way of putting her real life experiences in book form, and it's not done very well.
Characters appear randomly in scenes, with no explanation. Subjects and scenarios are tossed in to the story so haphazardly at times, it's like the author stopped writing the book, waited several weeks, then started writing again with a different intention.
