this was a messier m*rder than those in the previous books and I'll be honest, veronica was really beginning to grate on me in this one - she frequently lorded her status as a working woman as her get of jail free card for her stupid choices and downplayed the rightful concerns of others. it was very tiring to read when it was clear those points being made were from a place of rightful concern and that she was playing fast and loose with her's and ruby's lives from the various spaces they got themselves into. jacob's accident was sad to read but i was glad when him and veronica came to a making up of sorts, though i wish he would instill some common sense in her.

Excellent story
Ms Kildare has written another excellent Veronica Vale cozy mystery.
The whole “gang” is involved in this one, and while there are totally unexpected
twists and turns - and an ending that begs to be re-read to make certain it is
understood, Veronica, Ruby et al manage to solve a very complicated murder.
I strongly recommend this volume, and the whole series to date.
