I have truly enjoyed books an authors I would not normally pick up. Girl Most Likely, appears to be the beginning of a new series starring young Galena police chief Krista Larson and her retired police detective father, Keith Larson. The setting is small tourist town Galena, Illinois and a change from Collins' hardboiled detectives with more of a midwestern feel and an underlying menace.The plot involves a mysterious killer who targets members of Krista Larson's graduating class at the time of their tenth-year reunion. I like the concept for the series and hope to see more of Krista and her father (MAC notes on his blog that he is currently writing the prequel to this novel dealing with the murder she helped her father solve two years earlier). Keith Larson seemed more of a fully formed character who, dealing with his wife's recent death, has moved in with his police chief daughter and becomes involved in the murder investigation. Krista Larson was not fully fleshed out as a character for me; I learned more about her fashion choices than her personality. Maybe she will assume a more forceful role in future books in the series.Girl Most Likely entertained me and provided some insights into small town policing. The ending seemed a bit rushed and unsatisfactory, but overall the book breezed by and Collins' dialogue is crisp and enjoyable.
