For the most part, I really enjoyed this book. It was a fun read.

I enjoyed our two major characters, Miriam and the sheriff. They play well off of each other and it was a change to have a sheriff who was okay with the amateur talking to people and trying to gather clues. That was a refreshing change. It was nice not to have the sheriff/police chief at odds with the amateur detective.

The plot line was good, but I did feel that it bogged down a little in the middle. I felt as tho' there were places where the subplot got in the way of the main story. That's why I only rated it a 4 star book.

It was still a fun book to read and I'll read more in the series as I really like Miriam and Sheriff Rhodes.… (altro)

So this is one instance where the actual premise outshone the book's execution: which in itself was really quite a shame as on paper this sounded fabulous.
There was actually nothing wrong with the writing here but for me, I found that the characters reactions to certain situations here just didn't feel authentic to the storyline and I also failed to achieve any deeper emotional connection with any of the cast involved.
It all just felt so shallow and superficial if I'm being honest and as for Amber and Bills relationship well I just wasn't feeling it during and definitely not after and Bill himself really didn't seem that cut up at all about Ambers accident.
He just went on with his mundane life as normal with no outward portrayal of grief or loss.
I guess what I'm trying to impart here is Bill certainly didn't act like a man who had lost the potential love of his life.
Most of this is told from Bills POV and I did think he came across as a trifle shallow at times.
Amber well I didn't feel I got to know her beyond the superficial and I really felt that Bill was mostly wowed by her outward appearance rather than any deeper meaningful connection.
Also, what's with the creepy stalking and investigating her? Talk about an invasion of privacy.
This also had every what not to do cliche you'd find in a B Horror movie.
And lastly that insensitive police officer: I was in shock when they were informing Ambers mum about her daughter's death.
"Hello again" I'm sorry to say didn't really work for me: the story itself was imaginative it just failed to live up to its original potential.
I voluntary reviewed a copy of Hello Again.
All opinions expressed are entirely my own.
