Capturing the Devil
by Kerri Maniscalco
I still love Kerri Maniscalco's writing style, but I did not love this book, unfortunately. I believe that an author's presence online can result in book changes that wouldn't have been made if they stayed off of social media.
This book completely threw away the original plotline of book one as well as the murder mystery itself. Why would I care why is going to portray HH Holmes in this book if his name is literally HH Holmes? Even though I also had my complaints about finding out who the murderer was in book one, at least we got to figure it out. This book took away all mystery and turned into a dramatic romance novel.
Because honestly, why was that whole drama with Thomas' father even added? It did not make any sense and there was no plotline at all. All it did was create drama, unnecessary. Which was resolved at the end of the book in a stupid way that was way too easy to be believable? Oh, it's all in the connections. Okay. No thanks.
This book started as the other books of this series, but soon threw away all the postmortem examinations and exchanged it for romance, drama, and a lame mystery that was way too obvious.
Also, the murder castle is one of the most interesting things that could have been written about and it just did not deliver. I either wanted to know more while Audrey Rose stayed there, or wanted to hear more facts afterward when the police found HH Holmes. But the murder castle burned down, they caught him without any evidence, and that's the end guys. Audrey Rose and Thomas live happily ever after.
