I just finished reading the latest book in the series and I have to say, I really enjoyed it. It was even better than the last one. The way the author wove in the references to the war and the terrible things that happened on both sides was really compelling.

Ruth's character really resonated with me in this story. I felt so much empathy for her as she struggled with the loneliness of motherhood and the constant self-doubt. The emotional tug-of-war she experienced with her child was portrayed so realistically.

Some of the choices Ruth made seemed a bit far-fetched, though. It's like she goes out of her way to find herself in the most bizarre situations.

I have to say, my dislike for Nelson only intensified in this book. I can't understand what Ruth sees in him. He's just a jerk. 

I'm a bit concerned about how many more outlandish storylines the series can handle before it becomes too unrealistic. One thing's for sure, though - I definitely wouldn't want to live anywhere near Ruth. It seems like wherever she goes, trouble follows. Overall, it was a great read, an easy cosy mystery to read during these autumn nights. I'm definitely looking forward to the next book in the series.
