**'Every starting point in any story should always be the characters, which leads to readers asking if writers really enjoy and loves what they do..'

Enchanting read!
The author weaved this intricate and intriguing plot twist in this book #2 of the 'Falling Castles' series. Ms. Lynn Miller takes a more laser look at the many strain relationships their (Syd, Alex & Andrew) father had with everyone around him -- and why he was the way that he was. Maybe his behavioral ramifications towards a few might have even played a part in his murder or not. Trickling into this plotline is a whodunit role that should excite readers because it well give them this task of reading along to try deciphering who the real killer is.
The heady romance between Alex & Tyler do continue and even explores how close they continue to become which sometimes has this feel of cheesiness but at least readers do get a taste of that nice chemistry from book #1. There are times while trying to stay focus with all the negatives that was surrounding her trial that all Alex wanted to do was grab a hold of Tyler and everyone close to her and never let go but there was this determination to prove her innocence. Then brewing under all the chaos and investigations is a growing romantic relationship between two unlikely characters. Additionally, Ms. Lynn Miller tells of the lives of being privilege, some of the unspoken sibling rivalries and the many small acts of vengeance that sometimes leads to a wide range of repercussions. The storytelling should be pleasing to many of Lynn Miller's fan base because it's good. For me, i had this high anticipation waiting to see how the plotline would pan out because the previous book #1 was so well told and i must say i was not disappointed.
So overall, 'BLIND SUSPICION' which is the perfect title is part hopeful and is filled with loyalty, Love, good family dynamics, good budding relationships, the whodunits and the what nots from policing procedures in New York City --- plus it looks like this delicious series will continue.
A highly recommended book and series!

After a cliff hanger ending in the first book this mystery family drama continues. The wealthy powerful father who built up the Castle hotel empire calls two of his children to meet with him. The next morning he is found dead in his office. Suspicion falls quickly to Alex and there's pressure from her father’s powerful friends for an arrest and indictment to happen quickly. This soap opera type story is pulse pounding and the book continues procedurally following Alex through arrest, booking and making a new friend when in lock up. Alex is in a brand new relationship with Tyler and that is the main thing sustaining her. And they turn to a new attorney and an old friend to investigate privately trying to clear her name.

I’m not sure if this series will be ongoing as everything is resolved and answered neatly. But the characters are great as is the attention to details. I think you need to read Despite Chaos (the previous book) to understand Alex and Tyler’s relationship and to get background on the other characters. I will gladly read another episode if the series continues or try anything new from the author. Thank you NetGalley and Bella Books for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.
