I think I'd like to meet me a Martin. (And also pick up a hillbilly accent, apparently) ( )

Better than the first two, but the mystery was deeper & wrapped up a little to fast. There was too much explanation at the end, not enough investigation. Found the killer & they spewed all, wrapping it all up too neatly. Otherwise, it was a better book. The characters are better developed & the writing seems tighter. ( )

Aurora "Roe" is back for a third installment and is giving working for her mother as a real estate agent a go. She quit her part time job after she came into some money and is keen to give another career a go. She doesn't really have the passion for it and is more interested in selling her inherited property and buying her own place.

During her first house showing for her mother she discovers a body. The woman is another real estate agent and she has been murdered and her body looks posed. Soon after a second body is found and it seems like someone in the real estate community is responsible. Roe starts to look into things and discovers there has also been a string of missing items from houses that have been on the market which may be linked to the killer. If Roe can stay out of the way of Detective Sergeant Jack Burns this time then it will be a miracle.

As well as the myrder story line, there is also Roe's personal life which is progressing. She is dating a minister, but she has a definite connection with a new character. We also get to know some more about the secondary characters. This is much better than the second novel as it matches the sub plots with the main murder storyline much better. Much more in line with the first book, a real page turner and I hope book four lives up to books one and three. ( )
