Review: Another winner in the Val and Kit Series
Rating: 5 out of 5

This is the third installment in The Val & Kit Mystery Series, though one doesn't have to read these books in order to appreciate them.  They are all stand alone in nature, but with the characters and antics involved, you'll want to read them all.Again, the authors have impressed me with how well they write as a team.  This truly reads like it's written by one person - so if the co-author thing gives you pause, don't let it.Like the other two books, the plot revolves around Val and Kit being thrown into investigating some suspicious deaths.  Trouble seems to follow them wherever they go; even a trip to visit Val's mom is Wisconsin isn't exempt from mayhem.  Like always, these amateur sleuths piece together what really happened.I liked how this story introduced us to the flesh and blood characters of Jean, William Stuckey and Emily. All three have been mentioned in previous books or been a voice on the other end of the phone.  It was nice for them to play a major role in this book.I could have used more Tom in this one. He does swoop in towards the end to save the day, but I agree with Kit:  he has more than platonic feelings for Val.  I hope that during some point in the series this will be further explored.  The authors keep setting the stage for this and I'll continue reading in the hopes that the next book will finally have the big payoff.All in all, this series is a fun read.  There's friendship, suspense, mystery, humor and a bit of romance for good measure.  I can't wait to read what happens next.
