Review: Pretty good read....
Rating: 4 out of 5

First I will say that this is hard for me to review because my real love are mysteries.  I usually do not like a love story mixed in with a mystery but in this case I really liked the characters.  I understand that this is the third in the series but I didn't know that but it definitely could be considered a stand alone book.The reason I didn't give this a 5 is because there was more love story than mystery.  There were also a lot of people to keep track of (siblings & friends of Annie & Chase + cops, etc.).  I finally decided I just didn't care enough to keep track of who was married to who, etc.  It didn't really add to the story anyhow (it didn't bother me but it was a little hard to figure out).  Perhaps if I had read the two prior books it would have been much easier to keep track of.The mystery aspect was very interesting & I was pretty sure who the killer was but in this case (and rarely am I wrong) I didn't have it figured out until a certain someone went to the cops because he/she (don't want to give it away) thought they knew who the murderer was.  I thought it was that person.The love aspect was fine except (and again why I couldn't give it a 5) I personally found Chase & his secret hard to swallow.  When he told Annie that he was glad about it I am sorry but this just seemed so over the top.  I also was disappointed with Chase's attitude at the end.  I also thought that all the relationships seemed to good to be true.  They just seemed a little too Mayberry RFD to me.  Men just aren't this sappy (sorry).Will I read the rest of the series - absolutely!  I will also check out the other books by this author as well.
