The Summer Children by Dot Hutchison
3.0
I have thoroughly enjoyed the previous 2 books in this series and so was incredibly excited to get The Summer Children through NetGallery.
Whilst it was good to catch up with the Characters, Vic, Eddison, Ramirez and of course the Butterfly Garden girls, I felt that the book was not up to the standard of the previous 2. I hate to say this but i found this book 'sickly sweet'. The constant talk of how wonderful the team were and how well they knew each other began to grate on me and at times I found it so completely over the top that i was starting to dislike them!
The storyline was excellent and when dealing with the serial killer and her reasons for killing i was hooked, however i found that within a page or two we were back to the over the top relationship of the characters.
I hate to say it but this was not a winner for me and it kills to write this as I'm use to Dot's books keeping me up all night, gripped and needing to know more.
