This was a pretty tense, heart in your mouth, read on The Pigeonhole.

Heather is released from prison after serving half of her sentence for murdering her MP husband. The thing is, she’s adamant she didn’t do it. She wants to find the real murderer, so that she can get her sons back and clear her name.

I had a lot of trust issues whilst reading this. Honestly, I didn’t trust a single person, whether they were being helpful or not. In fact, I was guessing who could really be responsible for Heather’s husband’s death right up to the end.

I loved Heather’s determination even (or especially) when she was in great danger - which was quite often.

I seem to be one of the last people to discover T.M. Logan, which is both ridiculous and fortunate. At least I have a decent back list to read!

"It’s about the life of a race car driver, told from the perspective of his dog, Enzo! Trust me, you’re gonna love this story — even those who are skeptical about talking canines. Your family will love it. Your friends will love it. And call me a gambler, but I’d put money on the fact that even your cats will want you to read it to them again and again."

It's like rewashing the clothes you just washed...
Set somewhat immediately after the first only to jump several months, the KB2 was as expected, a bumpy story about wether a long distance relationship can work or not.
Circling around old friendships and new love intetests and the value of trust, the story felt rushed at times but was still enjoyable and more mature (sometimes).
