And the author refers to events that happened to Kate in the past, but then they are not described in any of the previous books, which I find confusing. In this book she moves on to the trans issue, in a really positive and inclusive way. Disappointingly, there was no romance in this book, but Aimee and Kate go through some issues - very realistic, I guess, but still.

I do wish these books were longer and that there was more time to do into all this stuff in more detail The mystery part in the book was also pretty good, not too mind bending, and easy to follow, just right for me. I really hope there will be more books, to fill in some of the gaps. Nov 02, Alma rated it really liked it.

Apr 11, Kylie Sparks rated it it was ok. I was sorry not to like this book more as I like this author. The problem is, it is a totally straightforward procedural--reading it is like watching paint dry.

There's a tiny little twist at the end but overall there is not enough to the plot to sustain interest. Oct 11, Naomi rated it really liked it. It was a quick read.

Productbeschrijving

A mystery novel with a hint of lesbianism Kate the detective is gay. It was a good book I was not able to figure out who it was until the end! Dec 05, Lynn rated it it was amazing. I really enjoyed this book. Of course you had the murder, investigation and trial but it was more.

It was about family and how they can sometimes become fractured. Can they be fixed? Do they want to be fixed? Should they be fixed? Aug 10, Alicia rated it really liked it. I enjoyed it, well written, interesting characters and story.

Better than most lesbian fiction. Apr 20, Josy rated it it was amazing.
