Not quite as much character development going on behind the mystery-solving in this book, which I felt made the story fall a bit flat. Still was entertaining and fun to read/solve the mystery, but I love this series for the characters so a bit more of their conflicts and growth would have helped improve some of the pace of this story. Kylie's husband has been a point of tension or conflict between the two detectives, but he basically disappears from this one without much mention. I think without him in the picture, the partnership development between the two detectives fell flat.
