5.0

When a suicide turns out to be homicide, Mylan Jacovitch falls into more than he could ever bargain for. Delving into the unfortunate victim's personal life and computer leads him to the vilest of Internet offerings and another murder mystery. This one was almost too much for me to even keep reading. Saved by botany and Dorothy Parker I got over that hump and continued on.

The continuance of the antagonistic nature of Milan and Lieutenant Meglich would, were this a typical romance novel, have them married before the final chapter. But nothing is typical when Roberts pens it. As Milan remains "a boil on her ass" and deepens his status as the CPD interfering problem solver, the complexities mount, along with his friendships, respect and scars.

Tho there is still no "happily ever after" ending, at least there is an "oh well, this is how it is" resolve. Milan keeps on keepin on, and I'm damn happy for that.
