Close Enough To Kill by Beverly Barton
4.0
This is the second novel I've read by Beverly Barton. It's the second book in the Griffin Powell saga. But Griffin wasn't really in this one as much as he was in the last. I've been reading this saga thingy backwards. I started with The Murder Game cause I didn't realize that the characters really began three books earlier.
I really enjoyed this novel. There was just enough suspense and mystery to keep my curiosity piqued and enough romance and stuff to keep me from being.. bored in a sense. I couldn't put it down for a minute. Some parts were predictable, like when the final victim was chosen. I knew beforehand that she'd eventually be a victim. Altogether still amazing book.
I would have given this book 5 stars, but I can't. Mainly because it frustrated me so badly every time they referred to the killer as "he". Every time he was with a victim, it was always "he" this, "he" that. Half the time I wanted to throw the book at the wall out of frustration.
All in all, great book, definitely recommend it :).
