Although I'm still thoroughly enjoying my reread of this series, I've come to realize the author tries to jam too much into one book for my taste.

As usual, I want to try to leave this review spoiler free. For that reason, some of this may sound cryptic. Eve had quite a huge personal revelation in the beginning half of this book. It was used as a tool to explain why her usually sharp mind missed some little details in her case, but wasn't really mentioned much more. I know what was revealed is extremely important to help Rourke and the reader really understand Eve. Yet I also feel there were so many other things going on (the wedding, her investigation, Mavis) that, by the time I got to the end of the book, I almost forgot this very important thing was revealed. That bothers me.

I still love these books and will still continue the series, I just feel this one was a little too much information overload.

Update 9/7/24 after re-reading via audiobook:
I'm not sure what the difference was this time around, but I didn't have that same feeling of the story being too much this time around. There is a lot that happens and I still wish more had been made of Eve's revelation, but being as I'm at the point that I know there are a LOT more books in this series it didn't bother me. Yet I'm not changing my 3-star rating because I felt the pacing was off and certain aspects of the story were dragged out for too long.
