As Death Draws Near by Anna Lee Huber
3.0
This is not my favorite in the series, but is still a very enjoyable book. Kiera and Gage have been called away from their honeymoon to respond to a summons for an investigtion in Ireland by Gage's father. Brought to an abby among all the contention between the Catholics and Protestants, they are asked to investigate the murder of a nun in training just outside the abby walls.
I think the reason why I don't enjoy this book as much as the others is that Kiera and Gage seem to be less of a team in this investigation and more of just two people who happen to be investigating the same crime. Most of this is due to the fact that they are investigating in an abby, and as such Gage is not able to traverse freely among the nuns and students. Much of the book was spent with them going their seperate ways to do individual research into the matter and then coming together again to essentially share notes. And considering that this was the first book in which they are now married, I expected them to be an even stronger team. There is quite a bit of tension, however, in regards to Gage's desire to protect Kiera and her worrying over the practicality of her continuing on investigating alongside Gage now that she's married and may one day be a mother. Further this investigation seemed quite slow in comparison to those that before and then came together all at once quite quickly.
So although this is not my favorite, it is still a phenomenal series and I would recommend any of these books to anyone who enjoys a good mystery.
