The narration is horrible. The book is not exactly good but a great narrator could have saved it, maybe.

I really did not see who the murderer could be until it was announced in the book! Not sure if there was any way to know until the end… even thinking back to all the clues it was still quite ambiguous.
Lots happening at the same time as it is the 6th book in the series but felt easy to keep up since I had not read any of the other books in this series.

"The End." WHAT?! I understand this is a series, but holy crap. I needed more answers! I also was unaware this was part of a series, so now I'm off to find the first books.

This was a pretty gruesome instalment of the series, maybe that’s why it took me a while to finish. But the ending made me want to pick up the next one! Really curious how this series is going to end.

This series is a bit difficult to appreciate without reading the books that came before. I haven't read a Frieda Klein story since the first book and barely remember anything about the character. The author gives enough background information to get the gist of what Frieda has experienced but without the details and the emotion that comes with the shared experience of watching a character grow and change. Frieda does what she feels is right, despite what she's expected to do or even hired to do, or which powerful people may get caught in the crossfire. She's made quite a (negative) name for herself! In this case, she suspects a woman has been framed of murdering her family and, to make matters worse, badly mistreated in the facility where she was placed. Frieda is like a dog with a bone - fiercely protective and determined to get every sliver. Assuming the next book ends the series for Frieda (since book one started with Monday), she is facing a showdown with a formidable enemy who knows how to pull her strings. Though I haven't experienced the whole series, it's easy to see how readers could become deeply engaged with this character.

My least favorite book of the series so far and by far. This is Frieda Klein at her most sanctimonious. I found her pretty much obnoxious in this book. She’s always too perfect, but it hasn’t gotten in the way of enjoying the book before this.
