This slapped! But they need better cover art!
I never would've picked this up, if not for a recommendation.
But the dialogue is witty, the characters are interesting. The lead is funny and bad ass, without being overly clichéd or stereotyped. And Curran... 😩
The mystery wrapped up pretty quickly, but it was well paced and very intriguing. The writing was succinct, but descriptive and engaging. Its a long series too, so I'm looking forward to sinking my teeth into it.
It's also so refreshing for a main character to not be described as beautiful without knowing it, or a humble bombshell. The way Kate talks about herself is aligned with her character - her body's function is important, rather than form. The writers aren't trying to convince us she's a stunner, she's just a woman.
I'd recommend this!
