Every Sunday we are taking a look at the world of books. I read a lot and always want to share my opinions on what I read, so I thought it would be fun to write reviews. Today we are looking at the next book in the Nell Ward books.

Positive Points

I wasn’t a fan of the second book so took a lot of effort to go to the third and I am glad I forced myself. It is a much better book and really interesting story that makes it unique and stand out. It is a much better case and back to what I enjoyed about the first book.


Negative Points

You could say parts of it are predictable and also you have to read the second book to understand this book.


Overall Review

If you are looking for a book that is a shortish read but also engaging then this is the book for you. The case is a fun read and it will want you to keep turning the pages to watch the world develop.
