★☆☆☆☆
Narcissistic main character
I don't think I've actually hated a main character more than I hate Maggie Newberry. She's cornered the market on narcissism, She's gonna a do what she wants to do no matter what. Never mind, she's very pregnant, her best friend shows up on her doorstep for emotional support because her marriage is falling apart, and Maggie's husband is literally begging her to stay out the latest murder investigation. Once more the smitten Roger Bedard appears, reduced to playing games with police resources to get Maggie's attention. (Seriously dude, at 8 months pregnant, could she be any more married?) Inevitably the murderer is revealed as he acts completely out of character. While the author has cleaned up her use of French, this book could have used some major editing. The author has a great backstory in Maggie's husband, Laurent, and yet she never uses him, except to rescue Maggie from some fiend. These books could be so much better. It's really disappointing.
