A Nefarious Engagement by Lynn Messina
3.0
*UPDATE*
My rating doesn't change and neither does my point of view. This is my least favorite book in the series. I think this series does well when Kesgrave and Bea work together. The fact that she investigated alone left us with just her thoughts and no one to bring out her wit.
*ORIGINAL REVIEW*
This was probably my least favorite.
She spends the majority of the book researching her parents death. The book picks up towards the end when Kesgrave finally joins the investigation.
Although I feel Bea needed to learn the truth about her parents, I wish it would have happened sooner or maybe not taken precedence. Also, she refuses to tell Kesgrave about her investigation and sordid details she discovers, because she's afraid that Kesgrave will dump her; needless to say that the investigation was not as interesting.
The best parts of this series happen when Kesgrave and Bea are working together and this installment didn't have too much of that. The moment she told Kesgrave the truth and he joined her investigation and they began interacting; that was the moment the book got good and the moment where I sped through reading cause I couldn't put it down.
*** Slightly better than just a good read, 3.5 stars ***
