I have read his series from the beginning, and this one I found to be quite disappointing. The "twists" that bring you to the surprise ending just wouldn't work at all. Emma's character is too syrupy, especially at the end, and the regular characters, especially Adrienne and even Raoul, were off-character and not terribly believable in this book. (Yeah, Adrienne's going to be checking Cozy out after what happened with her husband. Uh-huh. And Raoul would just happen to show up at the emergency room with that under his arm at the critical moment. Yep.) I'm just disappointed.
