My Review:
I started off really liking Catherine and her partner Louise. They both balance each other out pretty well. One is feminine and in total control and the other is the opposite. Together they have been the most entertaining duo I've read recently. The mystery is pretty nice too. I was impressed by how it had me guessing from the start to the end. I didn't know who the killer was until it was announced, which for me is pretty awesome!
This will definitely satisfy anyone that loves a good mystery. The characters are solid and the writing is very smooth. It's a quick read but it's a juicy one! I highly recommend it.
