I really like Ali and this series of books. I must say I really missed her blogging in this book. Plus I missed her interacting more with her family.
The author has done a great job crafting a group of characters that make me care about them. Ali is a great investigator. I must say I like having her be an amateur rather than a policewoman, but she'll be great as that, too, if it happens in future books.
It was not as exciting as I would have liked. You knew where it would all end up, but the getting there was good and it won't drag her average down by much.
If the town were real, the diner is one I'd want to eat in if I came to town.

J.A.Jance delivers her best Ali Reynold's book. It is a pulse-pounding tale of suspense where no one is safe from a Fatal Error. Ali begins the summer thinking that her most difficult challenge will be surviving the Arizona Police Academy. Ali is quickly drawn into a web of intrigue. It keeps your attention throughout the entire book.
Slow start but once it got going it was a real page turner. A worthwhile read if you are willing to slog through a plethora of interesting but not critical backstories. I really liked Jance's other two characters in her other books. She is the queen of building a story. With her Ali character she seems to be exploring new ground.
This is an enjoyable and fun book. It is as good as all the others by Jance.

Good story.... great plot. I don't care to read a book that has two or three things going on at the same time. It is a distraction to me.
very disappointed--it takes half the book to finally get into the main storyline of murder and when you do you learn - the who, the why, and it leaves nothing but I guess, the chase--however, you have to first get through all the descriptions of the characters beginning almost at birth, lots of characters and lots of background descriptions--if you can get to the half mark maybe you can make it through the entire book---I couldn't--too slooooow to keep my interest and certainly not 'edge of the seat' reading.
I had a good time reading this book, finished it in a couple of days. Ali Reynolds was an interesting character and believable as well. All the other supporting characters were well put together.
The story was good and had a really nice flow to it as it jumped from character to character. The pace just right, not rushed in any way. It had a certain "that can actually happen" kind of vibe to it.
Looking forward to reading more stories about Ali Reynolds by J.A. Jance.
