Closed Circles by Viveca Sten

Okay then! I enjoyed book 2 so much more than the first, so I'm glad I kept moving forward with this series.
The plot of this murder mystery is your typical "who done it" crime. There's despection, lies, scandal, affairs, murder obviously, and greed. There's enough hype to keep your interest from a crime perspective, but it's really the development of Thomas and Nora that drew me in further.
I felt like with the close of book 1 I was just getting to know them. And in this "episode" I now feel emotionally connected to the two main characters. I learned more about their personal moral compasses, what each of them is striving for in life, what they are both missing and longing for, and what empassions them.
I will say, the book ended oddly. But I am realizing that transitions aren't Sten's greatest strength. So I'm gonna read the third book and see if this dynamic duo keeps their momentum. Maybe Nora can finally join the police force - she helps out Thomas enough to already be an honorary member ;)
