review 1: This was my fourth Riley Spartz book, having read them out of order. I also think it was my favorite, and not only because I know her characters better. I felt that this story had more "meat," and that the two story lines felt more tightly connected than in her previous novels. As usual, Riley is in hot water with her boss, the police, and her lover. Of course, she wiggles her way out of itI found the book to be a pleasant diversion from some of the very intense thrillers I've been reading lately. As a resident of Rochester, Minnesota, transplanted from the Minneapolis area relatively recently (six years ago), I found the references to Mayo Clinic and the wealthy Arab visitors to be quite amusing - and true! I plan to read more of Julie Kramer's writing in the future; how... moreever, I have many Karin Slaughter books as well as other nail-biters and spine-chillers on my bookshelves, so I'll wait until I need to slow down my heart rate again!
review 2: My least favorite book so far of the series. One of the main characters is someone from Texas and the author clearly has never even been close to Texas or meeting a Texan. Literally every time he talks he said a stupid "texasism" like "you have a better chance of scratching your nose with your elbow" or "more scared than the devil is of holy water". It just got annoying. Then you realize the character is supposed to be 25 and you don't believe it for a second. Really takes away from the story. Also, so far every book I've read has pretty much been exactly the same. The ending of this book was predictable and unbelievable. less
