3.5 Still enjoying this series and looking forward to the next book, been a while since I said that. ( )

Wasn't really impressed with this book. Don't think I'll be reading anymore of Julie Kramer. ( )

I didn't like this one as well as the first one, but it is still a first rate mystery. Riley gets caught up in about three big stories, the missing bridegroom, the missing big mouth bass, and drug dealing in her neighborhood.

The main story is the bridegroom and the reason he disappeared. The bass and the drugs are secondary stories but keep it more real. Very few journalists are working on only one story at a time!

I learned a lot about face-blindness, which was interesting but very hard to believe. It is a true disorder.

I will keep reading this series, Kramer has a way with telling a tale that keeps you reading. ( )

I really enjoyed the first book in this series, Stalking Susan, so I had high hopes for this one. Thankfully, it delivered! Riley Spartz is nothing if not persistent. Sweeps are coming up again, and she’s under pressure, as usual. TV news is changing, and the chances of her ending up with a story as big as the last one are low. When the ad for a never worn wedding dress shows up in the paper, she hopes she can find a story there. Along the way we get to visit with some of our favorite characters from the first book.

I think Kramer takes this story in some interesting directions. At least one aspect of it was totally unexpected, and something I’ve never seen anywhere else. This surprises me, because it was a very interesting medical condition. Also, we see Riley still struggling with her personal life as she continues to recover from the death of her husband. She doesn’t always make the best decisions, but she does get her story.

This is a series I continue to enjoy! ( )
