I am glad there is no swearing or sex, but the plot isn't very grabbing.
The main character is totally annoying and irrational. Just because she's dating a detective, she feels she has the right and the experience to investigate a brutal murder. Even when attacked, injured and on the run, she doesn't let up. She involves her son in her misadventures, exposing him to possible harm and other consequences. She shows up at a strangers door (to evade an attacker) and involves him, as well. Even when her detective boyfriend suffers negative consequences on the job because of her interference, she insists that what she is doing is helping him. Along the way, she compromises evidence, intimidates witnesses and contaminates crime scenes. All in all, nothing to recommend this book.

This book started a bit slowly, I guess to get the back story listed, but then it really took off and I could not put it down. I liked this one much more than the first two in the series, and they were good.
