Lev Raphael's "Little Miss Evil", #5

[katikat]

I think that this was the weakest book in the "Nick Hoffman Mysteries" series so far even though this time, the threat was more personal for Nick. I don't know why it didn't really grab me. Maybe because I read this book soon after the 3rd one and Raphael's tendency to recount some of Nick's previous adventures kinda bored me since I had them all in fresh memory? Or maybe because the build-up to the murder itself took so long? Or maybe because Stefan behaved like a real jerk most of the time? Who knows. But the dialog was still witty and the ending happy - especially for Stefan's career. I will definitely read the next one in the series.
