Though I found this a better installment than the last I still had my fair share of problems with this book.

SPOILERS AHEAD

Let’s talk Maggie. Why was she still her assistant? She did and said things that were beyond insubordination. I get it’s government but if Kaye could so easily be bogusly fired there was more than sufficient evidence for Maggie to be. For her to be kept on is a lame author plot device for drama.

Marino- when did he marry Kaye’s sister. I know it’s been more than 4 years since the last installment but I’m sure that’s a detail I would have remembered. I check my review for the last book and it’s not mentioned.

I read a lot of crime/mystery novels. It’s a favorite genre. And it feels like Kaye oversteps her role a lot. Without Mario being an investigator why would Kaye be the one to solve cases that aren’t solved by evidence directly dealing with the body. If a penny was found in the body, I get why Kaye would be looking for more. Since it wasn’t, that wasn’t her role to be looking for them. That would be the investigating officer. I get it makes for a compelling story, but not a realistic one.

I also don’t understand why her boss is still her boss. He clearly f’d up the murder investigation and Kaye says nothing, does nothing, so he can continue f’ing up but she’ll act like an investigator when she’s a medical examiner. Her boss is a bad guy too who needs to be stopped.

But my biggest complaint is how the ending was very much rush and the loose ends somewhat tied up in an epilogue.

Again better than the last.

Let’s talk narration which was great.
