No Reason For Insanity

Having never read the previous Haszard narrative, I didn't know what to expect.  The characters were likable, the suspense and mystery also kept me reading.  I did find the number of characters a little overwhelming and a little difficult keeping track of who was who and their connections to Has at times.  The amount of partying going on amidst the murders was a bit strange also.  I gave 4 stars because all in all it was a good murder mystery.

Most mysteries keep us safe from getting drawn in by giving unrealistic characters and dialogue, the author manages to avoids this by filling this tale with characters who oil beyond neighbors and a crime that is all too possible.  The book will suck you in quickly and have you checking your doors are locked at night.

I just finished reading this book. I honestly did not know that it was part of a series until after I was part way through.  Here's what's great about this book. You can start on this book and read it through, and it's a pretty good stand alone novel. If you have read the rest of the series, you probably come into it having a pretty good introduction to the characters, their background, their relationships, and their depth. If you didn't, you still get those things in this novel. I don't feel like I needed to get the background story to really enjoy it. That surprised me greatly. There are mentions of previous adventures, but they are not to an extent that you feel lost. I was really impressed by this while reading.  The story is a very good mystery and somewhat of a thriller in parts. You can empathize and sympathize with the characters and feel the relationship between them. They are all from different back grounds, but all work together in a very positive way. You can even feel that the way the interact and care about each other is genuine and it sucks you in. I honestly read this novel on a 3 day trip and had trouble putting it down. I wanted to know more of the story.  I'm not going to give a lot of details, but, I am going to recommend that this is a very good read and i'm sure that you are going to enjoy it, so give it a try. 

I received an advanced copy from the publisher for a fair and unbiased review.

When I was finished reading this book I did not know that it was one of the books in a series. I usually do not read book that are in a series, but this one held my interest. Since I did not read the other books in the series I was still able to get the jest of the story.
The story is a good mystery and kind of a thriller.  You will sympathize with the characters and get to understand and get to understand the relationships they have with each other.  As you read on you will see just how all the characters blend in with each other.
I do not want to give the story away, you must read on to find out for yourself how things work out. I give this book 4 stars.
