A Violet March is a fine third installment in the Samantha Rialto Series.  All our favorite characters are back and in full swing.  We get to know Ben's sister,Olivia,  better as she too is sucked into the tornado that is Sam's life.  Maxi is her full force strong, daring, charismatic self. Having one of Sam's students, as a central character,  was an invigorating plot twist and gave the novel a new flare.The mystery is well paced and plausible.  It kept me guessing until the end. Even when I thought I had it all figured out,  Evan Katy threw in a mind blowing event that I never saw coming.Sam and Ben are trying to deepen and develop their relationship.  The people around them keep trying to interfere and keep them apart.  Their biggest stumbling block however is themselves, more accurately Sam's emotional and psychological scars.  These two need to take off alone and leave their cell phones behind so no one can interrupt them.  They need some serious private time to relax with each other and see that what they have going could easily become solid relationship.  The events in this novel will really test their relationship in the next novel.I look forward to reading the next installment.  I want to see more of Sam's, Maxi's, and Olivia's next door neighbors and to find out the rest of the story of their backyard discovery.  I even look forward- begrudgingly - to seeing what the future has in store for Skipper and Harry.  I also can't wait to see Sam's mother's reaction to her new place.
