False Impressions

Enjoyable mystery that kept me guessing. I suspected who the killer was (and was ultimately correct), but a couple of times there was just enough doubt introduced to make me question my suspicions. The “one” thing that made me really think about whether to rate this 3 or 4 stars was the over the top feelings/wording that often came from Megan. Maybe I've watched too many episodes of Law & Order. Of course she was questioned - she was the wife. Yet, Megan often commented on how determined or “hell bent” the detectives were in proving her and Michael were guilty. Yet I never got that feeling from the detectives, especially not after their first meeting. Oh and the chocolate almond obsession annoyed - I swear Megan must have carried a piece of luggage as a purse for the amount of snacks she was always able to find in it.

Even with that small issue with the writing, this book held my attention and kept me turning the page so 4 stars.
