The relationships are the stars of this book. I can't wait for the next one to see what happens especially with Kade. The plotting is better than average but this time Kathleen made more standard amateur sleuth mistakes this time that bothered me but not enough to detract from my overall enjoyment of this book. 
 Once again I did not figure out the villian. Considered a couple of people and dropped most of them. We already know the DA is a bad guy. There are intriguing twists in the plot that carry it beyond the norm. 
 I highly recommend it. 
 More like 4 1/2.
