Enjoyed the first Cal Hooper book a lot, loved the second one even more.
I appreciate how both books are 100% genre pieces, but the beats are so different from your average murder/mysteries, you kind of forget you're reading a genre thing until a murder happens or Cal has to investigate something.
Trey is a great character and I appreciate that she's even more front and center here.
I do wonder where French could take these book next - I think there's a lot of relationship stuff that could keep developing, but Trey's family drama seems like a well that has to be pretty dried up at this point. So maybe Cal's annoying neighbor gets murdered or something? Whatever it ends up being (assuming she writes another one), I'll be here for it.
