Best book of the series so far. The mystery part wasn't that complicated - I had a good idea on who's the murderer from the beginning but I will admit that I doubted myself a couple of times - but the moments between Adrien and Jake were amazing.
I think I'm starting to like Jake again, I'm still angry on a couple of things that he did but there's hope that he might get better. The ending was perfect. I can't wait to read the final book. I'm going to miss this series.
I normally don't read mysteries so I was reluctant at first to read this series but I have heard that it is a great one and I already had it on my kindle, so I thought I'd give it a try.
I'm glad I wasn't disappointed. Although I hoped to see more romance but the mystery was good and it kept me interested till the end, and I loved the moments between Adrien and Jake (when they weren't fighting, trying to investigate the murder or when Jake was an ass).
Fatal Shadows:
In the first book Adrien English's best friend is murdered and he is the main suspect. He's being investigated by two detectives, one of them turns out to be a gay (and is in serious denial).
The mystery part was a little predictable, but I still was pleasantly surprised that I was kind of wrong in the end.
There isn't a lot of romance in this book, if any at all but I didn't expect it because they were just starting to know each other.

A Dangerous Thing:
In this book Adrien runs away from his non-relationship with Jake. He decides to go visit the house left to him by his grandmother. When he arrives there is a dead body in his driveway, but by the time he drives to safety and calls the police, the body is gone.
The mystery in this one was a lot better, I didn't figure it out until the end.
And I really liked the romance part. Jake is still asshole though, but I like him.

I can't wait to know more about Adrian and Jake.
First title in the Adrien English mystery series. I was pleasantly surprised by this very low key, no frill with some dark corners intrigue. Adrien English, bookshop owner with a specialty in mysteries, not yet published mystery writer himself finds he is the target of a stalker as well as being the main suspect in the brutal murder of his childhood friend/employee. The secondary characters are interesting, especially Adrien's mother, socialite Lisa, the writers circle is a bit stereotyped but it's Adrien we are intrigued by. The police detective Jake Riordan becomes more important as the plot progresses. It's not an original plot and you'll guess who the stalker is early on but overall it's a good read.
