Once Upon A Crime: Volume 1

It was an entertaining read, but was annoying and irrational at points. As many reviewers mentioned, one could figure out the killer from the first few chapters, but it was OK with me. One thing I enjoyed about this book was that it reminded me of (Thomas Lynley and Barbara Havers Novels) by Elizabeth George which was sentimental to me. I couldn't help but to think of Macpherson as Lynley and Chelsea as Barbra. That being said Chelsea was annoying and I disliked her so much. I wanted to buy the next book in the series but if she keeps on dealing with serious matters with such recklessness and stupidity, then I don't think I can deal with another 400 pages of her nonsense. Thinking that everyone is targeting her because she is a woman gets irritating and old, especially when she makes dump and unprofessional mistakes. This is one of the few books that I read recently in which the male lead is written in a good way, which felt good for a change.

This is a great story! The relationship between detectives Chelsea Sullivan and Jim McPherson is combustible! We follow them on their hunt for the Grimm Reaper, a serial killer whose murders are based on fairy tales! It is well written, and the story flows quickly, immersing you from the very first page. I highly recommend you give it a try!

a very good book, it was exciting and kept me reading and turning the pages as quickly as I could to see what would happen next! Can't wait to read the next story that follows this one.
