Another winner by Susan Meissner

I just discovered this series which was written a number of years ago. Now I wish there were more of these stories. Susan is one of my favorite authors and I encourage others who would like a good read to pick up her books.

Four Stars

Good book, but not my favorite Susan Meissner.

I love Susan Meissner and just love the Racael Flynn Mystery Series.

I have just started reading Susan Meissner books and love them. Her writtings keep you involved with the people and the books are hard to put down. I kept them with me so if I had a down time, I was reading.

Something New

Really enjoyed the book- new author for me

Obvious "whodunit" with annoying busybody as heroine

"Days & Hours" is a legal/detective mystery--a lawyer, using information provided by police detectives plus questioning suspects on her own, solves her child endangerment case. This novel was the third in the series, and the "whodunits" of the previous mysteries were spoiled in this one.

I liked that this mystery wasn't a murder, especially since the victim was a newborn baby. I was able to figure out whodunit long before Rachael, which was odd considering that she consciously decided to look for the least likely suspect. By the end, I found it frustrating that Rachael had all of the clues but she kept making up impossibly complicated scenarios to explain them rather than considering the simplest, most obvious answer. She also did things that she knew were dangerous (and she didn't need to), yet she didn't even take the easy precautions she could have. Yes, she frustrated me, especially at the end. She came across as an earnest, naive, but annoying busybody who just couldn't sit back and let other people handle things. Her police detective friend was willing to do anything she asked of him, yet she just couldn't keep her hands out of it.

The characters were fairly complex and quirky in what's meant to be an engaging way. The details about Rachael's job as a prosecutor for the county's Human Services were interesting and woven nicely into the story. It's a quick read, and the suspense (for me) came mainly from curiosity about whodunit. Though we're told repeatedly that the baby was in mortal danger, that part kind of felt inevitable (probably in part due to the book description on the back cover), so there was no suspense from that for me.
