Lise's Reviews > Ring Around the Rosie

I was a massive fan of Cold Case, so this was right up my alley. Stepping back and forth in time, if it's heralded well, doesn't bother me. Sadly, the flashbacks had nothing to identify the era; there were no notes on music, fashion, or attitudes. And, while I realize that this will leave the book timeless, it was a little disappointing. Another frustration - one of the storylines didn't tie up, ending without closure. I realize that this story arc will probably span several novels, but it will take me time to work my way back to this series. (TBR pile you are killing me.)

The writing was engaging and pulled me into the story right away. I liked the main characters though I didn't fall in love with them. Both of the cases had tenuous leads and it seemed to be a fluke that one of them was solved; the mystery aspect was a shade weak. Despite the quibbles, it was a great piece of escapism that I zoomed through in a couple of days.
