A review by tobyyy
Decked by Carol Higgins Clark
3.0
This is the first of the Regan Reilly mysteries — I’ve read several of the later books in the series so it was fascinating to go back to the beginning and see where (& how) it all started!
I will say, Carol Higgins Clark (hereby referred to as CHC) has changed her writing style tremendously over the course of the series. In this book, there are some of the trademark multiple plot lines that arc and twist and weave together for a seamless conclusion. But compared to later books, this one is a walk in the park. As you progress in this series, CHC’s plots become a lot more convoluted, there’s a lot more story arcs to keep straight, a ton more characters, and there’s also typically a lot less murder.
Book one was more of a typical murder mystery. I’ll be curious to read the next books in the series to see where (& how!) things start to shift.
