I love this series and have been waiting (impatiently) for this latest book. This story brought attention to the serious issue of domestic violence. Some parts (describing the victims of domestic violence) were hard for me to read, but I think that was the point. While this series is still "cozy", the subject matter is serious and eye-opening.
That said, the mystery was wonderful. I love the character development and the friendships Kiki has made. The storyline with Chad continues but we see that maybe changes in their relationship are coming. I hope it clears up in the next book. While I love the storyline, after four books of the on-and-off Chad/Kiki relationship - will they or won't they, I am ready for Kiki and Chad to both make a decision about where their relationship is heading.
I can't wait for the next book in the series.
