I feel like I just skimmed a whole volume or something. We just bounced from one thing to the next. Especially when it comes to the resolution with that (now ex-) boyfriend. He made some vague statement and then we hand waved our way through several important points.

This is not giving me a good feeling going forward. A mystery story really relies on how things are revealed to the reader, and this series has almost stopped trying to make it engaging. The first couple chapters were done so well, but I get the feeling that they hadn’t really worked out the story past that point.
