Every Waking Hour by Joanna Schaffhausen
4.0
The 4th installment of Joanna Schaffhausen's Ellery Hathaway series has our favorite team mystery solving team (Ellery and Reed) returning to Boston where Ellery has been hired by the BPD and is trying her very hardest to toe the line (for once). What starts as a fun weekend vacation, turns into a mystery a when a girl goes missing from The Common and it becomes clear that there is more to the case than a simple run away teen.
As always, Hathaway is a loose cannon in the very best way and Reed is the ever-stable FBI agent/ knight in shining armor. This particular iteration was interesting because it addressed directly some of the criticisms myself, and many others have had with the main relationship of the series.
Additionally, it's somewhat of a hobby for me to read books set in Boston, and I was suuuuuuuper excited about the small plot point that happened in Roslindale. Roslindale never gets a mention! Awesome!
As always, I would absolutely recommend this series to folks who don't mind a somewhat unlikable narrator and those who are ok with a bit of violence on the page.
FULL DISCLOSURE: I was provided an ARC of this book from Minotaur Books/Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
