Book Review and 3.8 stars
This cozy mystery was an interesting read, however, I stayed with until the end. I didn’t give it my usual 4 because I thought some aspects of the story were cliche, but for the most part I did enjoy this book.

Book Review and 4.3 stars
I liked this story a lot better. It was interesting to watch how the connection to past was illustrated to a series of murders that had occurred in Hollywood. I think that the author put the information together in a very sequential manner.
Synopsis

Even worse, she may have inadvertently helped the suspect escape. Now Carol is faced with the difficult choice of choosing between her job and her personal relationships. It was just a coincidence that Carol and Eric were investigating the same case, now before the thieves can pull off a daring escape, they are leaving a trail of dead bodies behind, and taking the jewels with them.
Book Review and 4.5
This was a great sophmore follow up in the series. I think that it was good to explore the relationship, but I wish the author had spent more time on this aspect. However, it is a mystery not necessarily a romance.
