You Don't Own Me
I enjoy this series - I think the cases are interesting and I enjoy the relationship of the ensemble. I am even growing to tolerate the new co-host.
I wonder what will become of this series now that we have lost MHC. I hope that Alafair Burke continues the series on his own. This was a good case that I was sure I had figured out about three times. But the usual red herring ending was completely unexpected.
I like the backdrop of everyone’s baggage and how it interferes with a good old fashioned who-done-it and truly puts the entire case of characters “under suspicion”. You don’t think Alex, Leo or Laurie actually killed the initial victim, but you can’t discount their impact on sub plots.
It’s a good series, I know there is one more book and hope for more from Mr. Burke
4 out of 5 stars
