Reputation is everything

A good read but not as good as the previous books. The ending really was a bit of a let down. Everything was great until then but ......... The characters however are as good as ever and hopefully her BFF will stay around for sometime but I just wish she could be clearer on which was her romantic feelings run.
John has suffered a major setback. Not only has his new venture gone up in flames but it was arson and worse there was a body found in the building. The body of the building inspector and as he has had several run ins with him he is now suspect number one. So when he asks her to look into it she readily agrees even though her BFF has come for an unscheduled visit after losing her job. Then Tate hires a new helper and she starts getting jealous whilst Asher still wants to date her. Will she choose between the two men? How long will her friend stay? Will she be able to find anything that will lead to clearing John and thus getting the insurance payment to start rebuilding?
