Book Rating
I really enjoyed this book,I have been meaning to read it for some time. I watched the film first which I sont usually do, but that inspired me to buy the book. I have given it eight stars because I enjoyed the story line and the development of the characters, even down to the school bullies. I love the character of Macon Ravenwood inasmuch as I loved Jeremy Irons playing the role in the film. My only criticism would he that it perhaps a bit too long and drawn out, especially as it is part of a series, I think 563 pages is a bit too long.

3.5 stars.

I liked the authenticity of the police-work Nikki and her team did and I liked the thing she has going with Jameson Rook and look forward to exploring this a little more in the next book.

What I wasn't particularly a fan of was the continual use of Nikki's last name to identify her throughout the book, especially considering New York is experiencing a heat wave at the same time. I kept getting confused.

It didn't take away from the investigation and I would never have guessed who was behind it all.

Looking forward to reading more of the series (mainly for the romance)!
