Aurora is a great character and tells the story well. Dark subject matter but her pleasant personality still comes through.

Great book, good mystery, and little too gruesome for me.

Picked this up by mistake. Turned out the book was good. Wish the female characters weren't so reliably weak and dependent on male counterparts. Loved the amount of work that went into the murders themselves, and the details about real cases.

I decided to start this series when looking at the movie series on the Hallmark channel. I hope I am not disappointed! I am on Chapter 4 and I am not disappointed! I love Mrs. Harris writing style, it is elegant and classy. She can get your attention without all the sexual overtones, the plot is solid and I am enjoying the storyline. I am very anxious to get to the end of this book!

Whoa!!! Did not see that ending COMING! Mrs. Harris thank you incredibly for your writing style! I enjoyed this book immensely! and I cannot wait to start on book 2! A bone to pick! This book had many characters, but it was easy to remember each character, and the whole book you are trying to guess who this murderer is!
adventurous mysterious slow-paced

Was a test read to see if my SIL might like the series. A big meh for me, her birthday is coming up, so we shall see how she feels!
