What You Want To See

After liking [b:The Last Place You Look 31450910 The Last Place You Look (Roxane Weary, #1) Kristen Lepionka https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1478185197l/31450910.SY75.jpg 52153749] much more than I thought I would, I was excited for this. But, like many sequels, it just wasn't as good.I still liked Lepionka's writing and Roxane Weary as a character. I also enjoy the incessant mentions of Columbus restaurants. The incessant named secondary characters, not so much. Overall, the plot felt scattered, and not in a way that concludes in a clever twist. I don't get Roxane's loyalty to Arthur, who she just met. I don't get why we were supposed to like Catherine now. Mostly I'm mad A.J. was killed just because he tried to help an elderly white lady who confided in him, and more mad about the lack of follow up.Some of the contemporary references too quickly make a recent release feel dated (examples: Bitcoin, Marie Kondo). They reduce its SHELF LIFE, if you will. I'm shooting for at least one pun per review in 2020.I'll probably pick up the third of the series soon, in hopes I like that one better.
