Short story, quick read. I had been away from this series for awhile and picked this up to see if it would reignite my interest to pick it up and it did just that.

My Rating: 3⭐️⭐️⭐️ for what it is, a short story with good writing!!
I will keep this short, this is a DD Warren short story (under 100 pages) I have almost read the entire series so I decided to give these shorties a whirl.
This was was ok… we go back to just before DD gives birth, she is involved in a case (of course) and escapades ensue.
I will say, DD seemed heaps nicer in this little shortie than in her other books… but maybe there wasn’t time for her to wind up into super bitch mode. Also she was actually a lot nicer as a pregnant woman than her pre-pregnant / mum self.
This quick book had a little bit of action… I liked most of it… but the ‘reason’ for the baddie… was meh… my least fave type of story is a mob story… so I was pretty engaged but then a bit meh who cares by the end.
The best bit for me was the relationship that DD and Alex have… its wholesome and exactly what cranky Warren needs.
Its good to read but not necessary for the rest of the series.

It was a fine, short. I listened to the Audible version and, after it started, I remembered that I don't care for this narrator. But I did enjoy the story.

Not sure what I expected, although I have enjoyed the two other books I read by her. Maybe it was just too short and underdeveloped?
Oh well, only took me an hour and change.....

Quick short story of D.D. Warren as she awaits the birth of her child. I liked how D.D. tried to balance her love of the job with her love of Alex and the unborn baby. She grappled with these feelings, while still trying to work at her job as the best homicide detective in Boston.
This story has D.D. working as a film consultant and stumbling into a murder case.
The story is a thriller and quite enjoyable.

The 7th Month (Detective D.D. Warren #5.5) a short story
Sergeant Detective D. D. Warren is seven months pregnant, been assigned to desk duty, and she's not enjoying it. Plus Alex, the baby father, has asked her to move into his place. Too much to think about so D.D. needs a distraction and it comes in the chance to be a cop technical consultant for a movie about a serial killer. Plus this moonlighting job pays really, really well. And then, just like that, there is a real murder connected to this consulting job and now the moonlighting job becomes part of D.D.'s day job. Things get very busy and very serious, very quickly! There is a good amount of humor packed into this short story.

I am not a fan of short stories and am curious why all the big authors are starting to do them? This one was good but I always feel like short stories just end. There is no depth.
