I finished this a few days ago and put off writing my review so I could think about this one.
I did enjoy reading this mystery, and finished it in two days. It kept my interest and the pacing was good. There were several notable characters in the book and I enjoyed them all. Interestingly enough, I feel like the one that was least fleshed out was the lead character of Erica. It would have been nice to learn more about the issues in her past, helping us learn more about her. As this is a series, I am hopeful that we will learn more about Erica in the future.
One of the things that bugged me in this book was her own personal lack of interest in who the body in the wall is and how it got there. Her daughter has to keep encouraging her to get more information. While other things are going on during this time frame, I know if a body was discovered in the wall of my home, I would be obsessed with finding out who it belonged to and how it came to be there. This seems to be in the back of her mind.
These are probably nit-picky things on my part, however. The mystery was well set up, the characters were diverse and interesting, and the ending was satisfying. Good read.
