Review title: Yes, let's suddenly make China into someone she isn't...
Product review: Let's take a tough hard-bitten rough-edged former lawyer and change her into milquetoast. Yep, that'll keep the series exciting, sigh. When characters start turning into someone we don't recognize it's time to move on. Hated, hated, hated the new China in this book, hate the perfect stepson, and don't like the boyfriend anymore, either. The "mystery" wasn't too hard to solve but it took pages and pages at the end to explain it. Slueths should NOT have children or stepchildren (are you hearing me Diane Mott Davidson?) because they are too polarizing. Either they perfect little angels or really dumb demons. Either way they detract from the story.
