Review: Sadly, Left Hanging in the Middle of the Story
Rating: 4 out of 5

The title should have been a warning... Book One: The BeginningsThe book starts out like a book laying out a play, it presents all the characters and tells about them, what type of person they are.Then Carol is found murdered. This just doesn't happen in the small town of Haven Park.The writing is good... gradually each character is added to the mix and we start learning a bit about the people behind the facades they present to the world. No progress is made on actually solving Carol's murder... we're still in what would normally be the beginnings of a book. There is jealousy, drugs, infidelity and more below the surface of the town.This looks like it will be a series of books... until we finally get the whole story.If you like reading the entire story, you might want to wait to read this until Bex Aaron finishes the series... so the story doesn't abruptly stop and leave you hanging.For myself, that is what I will do... the story is skillfully written and well-worth reading, but having only one part of the story available is more of a teaser than an actual book and I don't care to begin reading a mystery book without being able to complete it.When the story is actually completed I think it could be a very good book. This author is skillful and writes well.
