I hear people rave about this series and wonder if it is really worth it. The answer yes it is worth it. The personalities are strong and well defined. The plot takes a few turns and ends up just about where we expect, but off enough to make your heart break.
Was good to revisit the people from the first book and I didn't get the entire mystery solved or solved too soon so the reveal was just right for me.
I was constantly getting confused by the similarity of names and folks having more than one name; Mother and M, M is Emily, etc. And sometimes in the audio there wasn't a pause between the scene changes so I was confused as to who was thinking or speaking at the moment.
I am hooked on this series. I love the characters, the setting, the subtle humor and so much more.??
