hannahandthebooks's review against another edition
3.0
L’histoire est bien mais finalement assez prévisible à tous les niveaux. Les personnages sont décrits de façon attachante. Les rebondissements sont plutôt tirés par les cheveux, ce qui rend le dénouement décevant.
Le style est très facile à lire ce qui en fait une bonne lecture rapide pour un jour de pluie.

I am a big fan of MHC but I agree some other reviews this was a little predictable I did still enjoy it.

A very quick read...but I knew pretty much how it would end by about 75 pages in...still a good story that I read to the end to see HOW it played out but not a lot of surprises. A lot of threads that were kind of "eh...okay..." and fully developed. But if you want something light, something quick, something easy to breeze through on a summer day...this works

I’m not sure if it was the writing or the audiobook narration, but it felt like someone trying really hard to fit in by showing they know the cool lingo, except the lingo is just common English words and phrases, over emphasized in strange ways. I’d think that maybe they were going for intentionally cheesy melodrama, except that it wasn’t consistent. And what should’ve been the most dramatic parts – all the “big reveals” (which were entirely predictable) – were delivered in such a nonchalant manner, you could almost miss them.

Not the worst book I’ve ever read, by a long shot, but I could take or leave it. By way of MHC, this one was lackluster but even her lackluster is some authors best work.

A solid Higgins Clark. A wise move from her recent books that switch points of view from a killer bent on some long grudge/romanticization -- this story tells two stories--a miser case of a doctor with early onset Alzheimer's and Higgins Clark's lottery winner sleuths on the hunt for the birth mother of a friend (a journalist covering the story) using third person throughout. A third strand is started late in the book and feels unnecessary, but the mystery is engaging and Higgins Clark writes fleetly. I listened as an audiobook and Jan Maxwell's narration made for an entertaining drive.

I always love MHC's mysteries. Great suspense and fun stories with a happy ending.
