A review by veereadstoomuch
Revenge in Rubies by A.M. Stuart

4.0

This time Harriet is part of the police force and doesn't "run" into the crime scene. This book felt like more of a "Harriet" book (versus the first one, I felt like it was very much Curran).
The crime is a young woman is brutally murdered (in her sleep?) in her bed. Harriet gets involved because of her work with Curran and also because of the murder victim's sister-in-law (she's the female who can help Curran).
The mystery was interesting. There was no way to guess (although I did try and I was wrong a few times!). The descriptions of Singapore and the times were interesting. I do like that.
I actually started book 3 accidentally before I started this book, so my brain did get a little muddled. There's more of the back story of Harriet's past and of Curran's past (and Li An). You get more of the character development of both characters.
