Review: JL Murray's Best Yet!
Rating: 5 out of 5

Tight, fast-paced, and poignant. The growth of Niki, the main character, throughout all three books is evident, but in this book, she really gets under your skin. Doing what she does is not always easy, and the reader really gets to see - and feel - the depth of who Niki really is.Things are not always what they seem in Before The Devil Knows You're Dead, and the reader is left thinking about the story after the final page. There is a lot more here than just an action-packed story.I almost feel sorry for some of the reviewers complaining about Niki's behavior. They obviously missed a great story. Personally, I found Niki to be a more relatable character in this book, and wonder if I would have handled things any differently than she did. I think JL Murray took a risk with letting Niki's emotional side through, and I think she did it beautifully.I am a bigger Niki Slobodian fan now than I was before.
