A friend had posted this free book on Facebook. That friend is a Christian, so I was a bit surprised to find some things in this series. To be fair to the friend, I think she had recommended a different book by this author (which was a young adult series) and may not have realized that other books by the author might conform to different rules.
The first book in the series was okay. The second book, I felt was a rehash of the plot of the first book. By the third book, I just wanted to finish the set and have it be over. Not a glowing review, I know.
I never figured out what was so important about the diner that so many people wanted it. Why did Pinzer key in on that area to begin with? Was it just his male ego that made him keep pursuing it even when his boss put the kibosh on it, even when he went to jail over it?
I was surprised at some of the plot points. Georgette apparently broke up Bobby's marriage, Georgette and others engage in sex outside of marriage. I was glad to see that Georgette and Roberta come to understand each other (instead of the blame that marred their early interactions in the first book).

Impossible to put down!
What do I read after this? Ms. Wingate's beautiful writing pulled me in from the first book of the series and never let go. Sometimes things got a little sappy to me, but the sentences and their construction kept me there. It's no surprise that she has won some pretty prestigious awards. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the enjoyment you brought to me!
