Why am I still reading this. The author didn't pay attention to her own details. Continuity errors abound. Also why not just set this story in a region with the climate she wanted for the story? Quebec would be perfect. Or change a frozen river murder to a frozen lake instead? Moving water around here isn't cold enough to freeze thick enough to walk on.
The first book had SO many conflicts of interest that didn't matter at all. Why do they suddenly become important now? I was just going with it that in this weird alternate universe, our main character being related to all the suspects, was not a huge deal for some reason. But no the rules just change all of a sudden. Did it add drama? Not Really.
She's Uber rich and just sent everybody in danger on a nice vacation. Great strategy, but not a great book plot. With the villains being geniuses I expected them to anticipate this move and at least try to stop things going as planned. But nothing happened. What a wasted opportunity to actually do some bigger story.
If Laurel is truly a genius, she would have anticipated what her sister's reactions and motivations would be, based on what information she revealed during her investigation. She was a behavior analyst after all. Everything she told Abigail, therefore, must have been designed to incite her to rage and act out. So which sister is the bigger villain?
