Veronica's mother was murdered when she was a little girl. Now, as an adult, she and her boyfriend are on a mission to find her mother's killer and give Veronica the peace she needs to live happily ever after with the man she loves.
My Rating 3/5
This book is part of a series. I haven't read the rest of the books in the series. I am guessing this is one of the last books as I assume it wraps up a subplot that was carried throughout the series of Veronica wondering who murdered her mother.
The story is told from the boyfriend's perspective (I forget his name) which I felt was a missed opportunity. He is a widower with a teenage daughter who apparently keeps getting mixed up in these mystery cases.
I thought Veronica was a more interesting character and the narrator was sometimes frustrating. He didn't really care who killed Veronica's mother he just wanted her to resolve the issues that were impeding their relationship. I didn't dislike the narrator I just wasn't all that interested in him and sometimes his motives and the way he treated Veronica really bothered me. I also wasn't invested in their relationship and since the whole point of solving the mystery is so the characters can get married and live happily ever after, I wasn't invested in the stakes of the story.
The mystery itself was just ok. I didn't guess who the murderer was before it was revealed but I also didn't have much of a reaction to who the killer was.
There were several things that happened after the murderer was revealed that I was not a fan of and overall I did not enjoy the ending of the book though this wasn't because of who the murderer is revealed to be.
It wasn't a terrible mystery. It just wasn't one that I really enjoyed.… (plus d'informations)
Finally got to read this and really liked it. I started it this morning and I finished it by bedtime. Although I had an inkling who the killer was there was a surprise at the end. The subplot of Harry Kline's life and problems was good too and made the story real.
