A Nefarious Engagement by Lynn Messina
4.0
Reading the series back to back, it's hard for me to say if this is the best or the worst out of 4 books.
The murder investigation itself is a cold case, it's not thrilling or clever, I could guess the villain easily, so this aspect could be the worst. However, this book is very much a dedication to Bea's personal story. While investigating her parents' deaths from 20 years ago, she learnt all the knowledge about her parents that she was denied from the relatives who raised her. How it must be a rollercoaster of emotions for any orphan to learn about their parents that way. My heart went out to Bea.
Although Bea and Kesgrave were now engaged, we don't see much of Kesgrave in this book, sad news for his fans but it is amazing how the author made his lack of appearance turned out to be another big leap in their relationship. He is the ultimate Omega Hero for our Alpha Female.
The "and the murderer is..." scene is the most epic out of 4 books. Just to show how much Bea had developed from the beginning till now. If you're invested in Bea's life, this would be the best book out of 4.
