Hush Now, Don't Cry
A lot of changes are coming for Kathy. After a successful trip in the UK with the Brooks case, Kathy is back home in Rosemont and looking for a chance to work as an investigator. A local defense attorney, Bailey Clark, decides to give her a chance, but her first case could be her last. The client is accused of killing a young woman outside of Delany’s Bar, but the only thing is he can’t remember what happened. Kathy tries to find the clues to prove him innocent, if she can find the only witness to the murder. Did he do it or is something more sinister at work underneath? Kathy will follow the clues to discover the truth...if it’s not too late.

Assessment:

Plot: Rich in details, the author drops the reader into the mystery immediately and relies upon a character from the first book in the series to solve the mystery. Thoughtful clues are revealed throughout the plot and allow the reader to discover and guess along with the main character. A few too many details do slow the plot down throughout.

Prose/Style: Paring down the details throughout would create a better flow for the reader. The dialogue between the characters feels genuine and reveals solid relationships.

Originality: Having a common character in a series often keeps readers interested throughout. The likable main character will keep readers coming back for more.

Character Development/Execution: The common character between the two books in the series continues to develop and change and has an interesting career. She is hardworking and learning right alongside with the reader.
