So This was a slow read and I have a hate/love relationship with Davenport but even though thi !s feels very outdated in language and I didn't love the case, I still want to know what happens next so I'll be reading the next one in the series

Years ago I found this series too much but now I really enjoyed it and will continue to listen to the other books in the series.
I would've given it a higher rating if the story had aged better, but you can totally tell it was written in 1989

I found about 60% of the book really slow but interesting, the last 40% went a bit faster but overall I loved the characters but found the case a bit boring. 
Might read the next one if I ever find it on Sale

I have it as read with a 4 star review from 2016 and it's obvious my taste has changed because I didn't remember anything from this book and even though I didn't hate it I also didn't like it. Won't be continuing this series

Her Sister's Bones by Geraldine Hogan
Did not finish book. Stopped at 26%.

This book is so slow and the main characters are likable or that intelligent. I tried several times to get into it but In the end I let it go because I just didn't care enough to keep listening or to find out what happened
