3.57 AVERAGE


Tempe just had brain surgery and is recovering when she starts having issues with her new boss. They didn’t get off on the best start because Tempe thinks she does stuff for the money and not for the purity of the job. When she gets strange texts about a new case she wants to work on it but her new boss seems to be standing in the way. Obviously this will not stop Tempe and she will use her connections and resources to track down this crime herself.

I think my least favorite of her books are always the one with someone who is unjust or unethical because it frustrates me so much while reading the books. It always spooks me when Tempe goes rogue because that’s always when the bad stuff happens and that’s basically the whole book. How does this woman think she will survive going alone to investigate potential murders without anyone knowing anything and fresh out of brain surgery!!!

This one was too chaotic for me. Partially my short attention span & partially the book, but I didn't enjoy this one as much

Really tried to persevere but gave up in the end. Found I could skip whole paragraphs and not miss anything. Usually love these books but this one was painful

So happy to finally be reading the series! Found the book at an op shop while watching the Bones tv show and now I've fallen in love with the books too!
