First off, let me say that whoever edited this book should be fired. Words were misplaced and jumbled together, it was awful.
Other than the awful editting, this book was a delight to read. It took me 2 days to read and I didn't know who the murderer was until well after halfway through the book. The motive for the killer was a little hard to grasp after the author divulged it, but then again, its fiction. The book kept you turning the pages just to see what would happen next. It had shock value and entertainment.
The characters in the book haven't really developed since the last book. Ellie is still nosy and insist on sticking her nose in business that has nothing to do with her. However, if it wasn't for her, the cops would be concentrating on just one suspect. They need to learn Ellie is going to be nosy no matter what. I understand that she is devoted to her friends and tries to help them as much as possible, but she needs to learn to let go. She's been poisoned, tied up, and nearly shot. She's never going to learn her lesson. I'm sick of her getting mad at Sam, her boyfriend, because he can't divulge information about an open case. He could lose his job. I feel sorry for Sam sometimes because he tries to get Ellie to see the dangers in the world, but she doesn't and probably never will. Then again, if he would just shut up and listen to her sometimes, he wouldn't have to deal with her going behind his back. Her mother is still a high society witch. I think Ellie should stand up to her. I love her stepfather. He's a delight compared to his wife.
I also wish that she would just tell her dear friend, Viv, that she can speak to dogs. I get sick of Ellie talking to herself and people watching and judging. At least telling Viv, she can have someone to talk to about her ability.
All in all, its a great book and the series continues to get better. The characters are developing, slowly but surely. If looking for an easy read, can't beat this series.
