Slightly Elevated Murder Mystery

Unlike the first in the series, this book kept me guessing up until the very end. However the story was not quite as compelling as the first; for The Word is Murder I stayed up all night to read it in one sitting. I really love the narrative of the author and how he intertwines himself in the story so that everything feels so real. The only thing I would knock the book for is the subpar ending. I am looking forward to the third one!
