I struggled to find that connection with the characters. This led to me connecting with the story as well. In fact, I thought the first third of the story moved slowly. It did pick up some about midway. Although, I still couldn't keep my focus on the story. A few times I had to re-read passages. Yet, Leah did have some charm about her that I liked. I would like to get to know her better.
Don't get me wrong about this book. It is a nice one. For me it just didn't grab me and keep my attention as I wanted. Although, if all of the other elements I had commented on previously had all come together for me, I would have been into this book so much more.

Another great book on the series. I love how the author leaves little nuggets and clues, but keeps you guessing at the same time. There were new characters that add a lot to the plot as well as existing characters you know and love. Didn’t see a lot of the twists and turns coming but I enjoyed the ride! Can’t wait for the next book in the series!!

OK this book was better than the first. Although there are still a lot of plot holes at least this one felt more like she was actually the reporter that she was supposed to be in book one.
She actually list out who the suspects are why and goes at them the proper way I think at least. It just felt more structured. Instead of her just going off half cocked thinking that she knows everything and she’s gonna accuse everybody and screw whatever the evidence says. Or she believes this person completely isn’t that person and then she switches her mind two seconds later. This one at least she has a facts, and something to backup the facts (sometimes) before she went off and accuse people. Did she get it wrong most of the time? Yes, but she was at least more structured in the way she investigated.
I am unsure if I like the relationship triangle even though she swears Cooper isn’t a romantic relationship it’s only friends. It seems awfully suspect and that she’s very jealous of Cooper’s new lady and I get it there’s animosity. But it just feels more like jealousy. And I kind of feel like she’s stringing along the Ex.
Again the narration is OK more like she’s reading to you then performing an audiobook maybe I’ll get better in book 3.
