A Nefarious Engagement by Lynn Messina
3.0
While I did love the past 3 books it took me over a year to pick up this next installment. The only reason being I was annoyed that the author quite obviously trying to reach her word count by describing in detail the plotlines from the previous books. Of course it also happened in this one. I understand how memories work but come on..
Not only that, but the events that are unfolding are described over and over again in Bea's thoughts. I'm not so forgetful that I need summaries not only of every last book and also inside one short book.
I like the interactions between Kesgrave and Bea and they, along with some mystery should be the focal point. The other characters are quite obviously caricatures for comic relieve. Which would work better if they are not overshadowing the main characters. Kesgrave was barely in this book and I really don't know what he sees in Bea at this point.
