There were a couple of little issues I had with the book, mostly the comment about "Me Tarzan, you Jane" part. It seemed like a feminist comment just popped in there for no reason. I don't think Steve was going first because he was a man but because he was a trained professional. I also found the reason behind the murders to be a little weak. You would think that the "assistant" would have had a better grasp on the reasoning if he was going to do something so horrible.
Plus in the beginning I liked the Canadian references but some of them seemed to be repeated - OK we get that kids in Alberta have to have costumes that work with snow suits, not need to drill it in.
But overall, I enjoyed the book and would consider reading more of the series.

An enjoyable mystery with a practical protagonist--Randy--who thinks to do things that it seems characters in other mystery series don't. (Like, Randy, on remembering what could be an important detail in the case, dashes off a quick email to her policeman boyfriend, instead of just NOT DOING ANYTHING, which tends to drive me crazy in other books!) CONDEMNED TO REPEAT is set very firmly in Edmonton, and as a former Edmontonian, it was fun to read about the neighbourhoods, shops, and buildings I knew so well. Lots of Alberta history threaded throughout, as well.
