"Deception with Murder", second in the Rilynne Evans Mystery series, has the same ups and downs as the first book.
The mystery is solid and the police investigation is logical - Rilynne's visions are helpful but sometimes cryptic (you'll know when you get to the monkeys!).
Her love life remains on hold even as her husband is declared officially dead - there is certainly room for him to surface at some point in the future, but he'll have a lot to explain.
On the down side, it is badly in need of more proofing. It's a pity because it undermines the book.
It's a 3.5 Star book rounded down to 3 Stars.
P.S. I spent my entire working career as a journalist - the rule is simple, never make the final corrections on your own work. That's why publications have sub-editors. We are all somewhat blind to our writing oddities, yet another reason why your work needs to be checked by someone else, and preferably someone who has a clue.

A very good series. Rilynne is an interesting character with her psychic dreams it gives extra ability in her detective work. Finding out who murdered an undercover policeman is her task in this story.

Solid 3 stars
It would benefit from a bit more polish, especially regarding possessives, but that is mostly line edits. Overall it's an enjoyable read and a decent mystery.

I read this on my Kindle and there were way too many typos. Also I felt it was very difficult to follow.
