One, I don’t particularly like Mark.<\/p>\n

Two, ELI! He’s not precisely the Eli of the Jane books, but he is very very close, including the war service and the tech-whiz younger brother.<\/p>\n

Three, I’m not sure how I feel about how things panned out for Risa. I’m glad she got a happy ending, but I’m not sure it didn’t feel forced.<\/p>\n

Lastly, the mystery. It was interesting. And awful (what with their being mass murder). I’m also not certain how I feel about Rhea becoming the temporary coroner. I suppose things happen like that in the south, but it still felt weird. But of course that was the only way to get Rhea in on the investigation.<\/p>\n

So, interesting, but I didn’t love it, and I’m glad I didn’t pay full price for the books.<\/p>\n
