I remember after finishing “Promises in Death,” I wondered why Eve’s investigations rarely involved children or teenagers as victims. So It  definitely piqued my interest to see precisely that in this book.

One aspect that drew me in was the strong focus on Eve's personal life, her interactions with friends and family. Just like in the previous book, the influence her friends always seem to have on the plot is consistently refreshing. Plus, if I’m being honest, witnessing her social awkwardness always adds an endearing quality.

Also, Jamie's role in this one was a highlight. Yet, I wish it didn’t always have to be linked to the loss of a loved one. He’s still  quite young, and the recurring trauma could potentially affect him negatively in the future.

Apart from that, I honestly found almost everything about this book to be enjoyable. From the handling of the case to the wedding of our ever-dedicated resident doctor. It was all such a delightful and touching experience to read.
