Reviews

[Lonnie Baker]

This was a decent read. Torres is annoying as shit. They’re trying to frame her as an asset, but most of the time she’s just an ass. but overall, a solid entry into the series.

[Emily Rogers]

Why must we have the same description of each character at the start of each book? Literally copy-paste. I don't think any new readers are jumping in on this series 15 books in. These books are fine as stand-alones, but this author is really burning those of us who enjoyed the first few books by dragging this series on and on...

4.5 Stars

This is my ninth Molly Black murder mystery, and as usual, it’s a good one. It started off a little slow, but picked up the pace as the storyline progressed and ended with a lot of action. Someone is murdering women who are widows that are seeking new relationships. RECOMMENDED.

[Josie]

This one was good, kept me in suspense. But I do feel like Maya and Torres were a bit dumb for not seeing the connection between Sarah, and then William Foster‘s sister-in-law. If I was swift, I would have moved her to another case also lol.

[Kari Robbins]

I was really beginning to think I couldn’t finish this series because of how repetitive it was getting, but the end of this one made me continue the adventures of Maya Gray.

[Andrea]

2.75 stars??

[Jillian]

The book was fine, but Torres was annoying and I hoped the killer would just end her.

[Brook]

Fun listen with the 'spousal unit'. I might pick up the series from the beginning.

[Melissa Carnegie]

Did the Daylight Killer make a mistake? We're getting so close to the end of this series!
A clean, no-graphic-scene mystery.
