Ok, this book sort of shocked me in the series. I pick up these types of books so that I'm not inundated with sexual assault or hardcore violence. There are plenty of books out there that tackle the subject of rape in a much better way. I felt like the author broke the "cozy mystery" rule! On top of that, it doesn't seem like the author even did any research on assault or rape. I just can't believe the way the after effects and treatment was portrayed here. Like I said, so many other books feature this topic in a far better, more knowledgeable way. Not to mention in a more respectful way. I felt like the author had this happen to the character for pure sensationalism, no other motive. Assault really is not a topic that should be used purely for sensationalism.

I had hoped this series would be a nice, "junk food for the brain", leisurely break from other books. A nice mystery, with no overt violence or sexual assault - the very definition of cozy mystery!! So, I was rather shocked that right on the first page, one of the characters is beaten and raped.

This is definitely the last book I'll be reading in this series. Not just because of the content matter, but because of the way the author handled it.

Really enjoying this series. Be sure to read on a full stomach as the "group of friends" sure do a lot of take-out eating in this one and will surely make you hungry. I did guess who "done it" but still a satisfying read. Start this series at the beginning to fully appreciate the characters.
