Defy Death

Riley Malloy #2

by Judith A. Barrett

Riley Malloy has a remarkable gift – she understands her patients. Unknowingly, she’s also the only one who can identify a serial killer. As one murder follows another, the seemingly unrelated evidence leads her to expose the murderer, but only if she can put the pieces together before she’s murdered. Death follows her.

Reviews

[Susan Whitmarsh · Rating 4 out of 5]

More banging

I really like Riley, Toby and the people and animals they surround themselves with. A great cast of characters, a few explosions, cats, dogs, birds and copious amounts of sweet tea. Another great read.

[Andrew · Rating 5 out of 5]

Started 5 books before settling in to read this.
I would characterize the Riley Malloy books as being on the edgy side of cozy. It's a fun place to read. The characters are enjoyable, and the villains just sufficiently evil.
Add in a bit of romance and it's just fun to read.

Disjointed, and weak plot. Like Gray Lady series but not this one.
