A fitting end
A decent end to the Equalizer trilogy set mainly in a small Italian town. More violent and brutal, bloody than the first two films. Quite funny in places as well. You know what to expect and it doesn't fail to deliver. The finale was a bit quicker than expected but otherwise an enjoyable film.

Fifteen years after leaving the small town of Asheboro, Katherine “Kate” Hamilton is called home by her best friend Lisbeth. Asheboro is in financial despair after a huge storm damages all of the town shops. Insurance isn’t covering much and unfortunately, the town council had put all the town’s money into a historical Victoria mansion. What they need now is someone like Kate to help the town from going bankrupt.

No sooner does Kate arrive, but her nemesis and high school bully Cordelia is found dead. Her head bashed in on the steps of the Barton Mansion. There are a number of suspects including Cordelia’s ex-husband (and Kate’s old high school boyfriend).

The book had some good characters but they needed a bit more depth. The plot had some potential, but I wish that things were a bit more fleshed out. I felt the author repeated herself a number of times, just to fill the book with pages. I did like where the author was going with this new series and I plan on reading the next one to see what happens to the town and the character of Kate.

Investigative reporter Lucy Resnick has bought the farm – that is her grandparent’s farm outside the small town of Buttercup, Texas. However, just days after learning that the previous owner, Nettie Kocurek, retained the mineral rights in the sale and intends to drill for oil, Nettie is stabbed. With the police focusing on the outsider – Lucy – she has to act find to find the real killer.

This is a fun series debut filled with great characters and a fun small town that I really grew to love. The plot did blog down a little in the second quarter, but it soon started back up with plenty of twists and surprises to keep me confused until the end.

NOTE: I was sent an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.
