I didn’t go into this book with the highest hopes, but it didn’t keep my attention as much as I would have liked. Especially in comparison to the first book of the series, “Two Parts Sugar, One apart Murder.”
I think I would have enjoyed the mystery more if the book weren’t so repetitive. A lot of the same quotes and devices were recycled from the first book and even multiple times within the book. I got sick of the references to “the Admiral” and would have liked a little less “romance,” but that’s my own personal distaste of romance themes.
I started tuning this book out at about halfway through and it was all downhill from there. I really wanted to like this book more.
