It became too predictable half way through because there was only one person who could realistically be the one who did it. It's also a little too casual about cheating, affairs and getting the affair pregnant. I hope the next books in the series are less soapy and more focused on the mystery.

The mystery is fine, but I was so very annoyed at the constant mentions of Ruth's appearance and weight. She considers it herself repeatedly, even though she appears to be an otherwise deeply intelligent professor and thoughtful person, and all the men she encounters regard her weight before her qualifications, expertise, acumen.
If you can ignore this, you might enjoy the series, I would rather not read another book from this fat shame-y detective series that can't be bothered writing actual believable flaws for it's heroine, preferring instead just to call her chubby/frumpy every couple of chapters.
