Actually, I would probably give this book a 3.5 rating. I thought it was kind of boring for about 2/3 of the way through the book, but then the last 1/3 was really great.In this book, Kennedy finally marries Luke Scoggins. However, Luke must leave an hour after their wedding, and so she is left alone. Drake calls and offers her $1000 to be a consultant to his team, which is coming back to Haggerty to finish the renovations they had started. However, after a few days, Kennedy sees that things are not what they seem, and she nearly loses her life finding out what really is going on with Drake's organization.The book has a surprise ending, which was also kind of disturbing. I'm ready for the next one in the series. Wonder if there will be a next one. I love Green's books, and this one wasn't any different. It's been awhile since I read her last book from this series, but this recent installation didn't disappoint, drawing me right back in and refreshing the characters easily. Makes a lot more sense why Drake made people's skin crawl and grew more bad will despite his supposed "good intentions" by the end of this book. Especially didn't like the insinuations with how powerful he was that he was also the reason why Luke was called off so close to their wedding - good thing they pushed up the time rather than letting him leave and reschedule. Hate to think what Drake might have done on top of his current schemes in that situation. Good for Kennedy sticking to her morals - I like her and Luke more and more with each book. Not as much with Kate and Mark, the original favorites from Haggerty, but Miss Eugenia still has a leading roll. Also struck by the awkward situation with HannaLeigh at the end of the book - could she get any farther off track? Oh well. At least Cade isn't as much of a concern.
What do You think about Murder By The Way (2000)?
My least favorite of the series, but still entertaining and a fun quick read for the beach.

I knew it! I was hoping it wouldn't be him, but it was. Still a great read though!

A fun read not terribly complex. Listened to it and thought the read was OK.
