Libby has emerged as my favorite Blackbird sister, hands down. Nora, though being the main protagonist, is just a little too much of a Miss Goody Two Shoes. It was charming at first but it's starting to wear thin now...especially in relation to Mick. Sure, he's a reformed bad boy with a shady past, but he has a huge heart and the people who DON'T have sticks up their asses seem to think so too. Nora needs to decide once and for all if she trusts him or not, otherwise she needs to let him find someone who won't always jump to the worst conclusions about him.

This was the longest book in the series so far and I don't think it needed the extra pages. There were some scenes that definitely felt superfluous. That said, there were some excellent humorous beats and I laughed aloud several times, mostly thanks to Libby.

I like this series but this entry was disappointing. It may actually be the best mystery that she's written yet but the characters of Mick and Nora got bogged down in issues that they had already worked through in other installments.

While I appreciate that she was trying to show the kind of effects a miscarriage can have on a relationship, it felt forced and those two characters in particular acted in ways that were plot rather than logic based.
