I enjoyed this book but parts of it were weird and I thought it could have been better. Sarah's mother didn't seem like the same character from the previous books. She started acting just like Sarah and I felt like Sarah's character was just copied for her. I do realize they are mother and daughter so could be very similar but in all the other books she disapproved of all the things Sarah was doing. Now, all of a sudden she is out running around in the seeder parts of town with her daughter and interrogating people. It just seemed odd.
I do like her helping her daughter though and loved the sneaky ways she helped too.
I love the parts about Malloy's son and how he is improving. I hope the relationship between him and Sarah will start to move a bit faster.
I'm torn now about what to read next. Should I read another book in this series or move on to something different? I have so many books to read.
Murder on Marble Row by Victoria ThompsonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This story was very convoluted and hard to figure out, although I did guess the ending pretty early. I just didn't know how it would work out. What a messed up family! I kept thinking they could have gone on some crazy talk show if it were a different time. I could just see that family talking to Dr. Phil. I have to say it was weird how Sarah and her mother suddenly seemed like the same character in this book when they have always been very different. Suddenly, Mrs. Dekker is out running around brazenly interrogating people in the sketchier parts of town with Sarah. It was a weird shift. I know they are mother and daughter but suddenly they are acting like twins. I did like the ending after the conclusion of the mystery.
