A review by mmanzo
The Sleeping Beauty Killer, by Mary Higgins Clark, Alafair Burke
3.0
Once again, I do this to myself.
My only two complaints are that Laurie is expected to trust Alex on his word and give up investigating his client, even though it's literally her job to do so.
But when Alex lies and tries to steer her away from the case in order to protect his client, he's just doing his job.
Additionally, "And also," is a common phrase that should in no way have indicated who the killer was.
Bonus complaint! Why didn't the general cooperate with the documentary?
However, I'll say this story followed more logically than most others in the series. I appreciate that the authors don't recycle their twists, even if the murder is usually about revenge/ jealousy.
