Review
Each book in this series can be read as a standalone, but I am sure once you have read one, you are going to want to read them all. So why not just start with book 1? 😉
That’s one thing that is also great with series. You get to know the main characters in the first story and you see their evolution during the rest of the books professionally as well as personally. They start as strangers, become acquaintances, friends and finally even feel like family.
Maggie is still fierce and she still sometimes is a bit (ahum) inpatient, but that’s the way she is. It shows her determination to do her job well. Sometimes though it needs a little shaking of the tree in order to crack that tough nut of a case wide open.
I know this is fiction, but I am sure things like this happen in every day life too. You only have to open the papers to see in what kind of cruel world we live. I am glad there are real life Maggie’s out there too. 😊
Anyway this is a wonderful book where I, once again, felt sympathy for the culprit. I understood where they were coming from. I know it was not the right way to deal with it, but I can see their point.
I was sucked in so deeply that I jumped almost a mile high when my dog stretched in his sleep and accidently pushed against his bowl. I thought it was my last hour on earth. LOL.
5 stars.
Thank you, Noelle Holten and Book On The Bright Side Publicity & Promo
