I borrowed this book from the library because my husband won The Brutal Telling. I thought the series looked interesting so I'm going to read all five. I really liked this book. There are a few French words scattered here & there throughout the book, and I don't know a bit of French, but I expected that. There were also a few sentences that didn't seem to make sense. I made note of one of them... "She also knew Daisy could best sauteed garlic any day and her smell would re-emerge triumphant" This is referring to Ben's dog who always smells bad. The story states that all of Ben's dogs had smelled. At the time, Ben is cooking sauteed garlic & onions, but this just doesn't make any sense to me. There are also two instances where the author used the word "smelt" instead of "smelled". I thought "smelt" meant to melt ore, but I looked it up and according to dictionary.com, "smelt" is in fact a past tense of "smell". It seems that I have learnt something new. LOL I can't wait to read the other four books in this series!
