Bree Butler shelved her dream of becoming an investigative journalist long ago. But when she finds a young biotech executive dead on his office floor, she begins to think she might have another shot at it - even though she's a suspect in the homicide investigation. Bree and her old college friend, Detective Gen Delacourt (who we first met in Mark of the Loon), begin a danger-filled quest to unravel the puzzle. The deeper they dig, the more truth about their own personal lives is revealed along with the dead man's. They'll both begin again after this is solved...if Bree makes it out alive.

The last fairytale

I found this to be an enjoyable read. Pleasant protagonists and an interesting plot. What I most liked was the author's descriptions of people and places. Far too many books have authors who indulge in over-describing everything, resulting in the ghastly purple prose. Ms Green was subtle enough to avoid this and let this reader's imagination fill in the blanks. I would read more by this author.

Engaging characters will keep me coming back for more of this series.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The characters were engaging and the plot kept me turning the pages. One of the reasons I enjoyed the book so much was that I had previously read another of the Gen Delacourt books and had already connected with several of the main characters I will definitely keep my eye out for more from this author.

Perhaps I should clarify my rating. I don't rate a book a 5 unless it packs a wallop that leaves me reeling. There are many good books, but only a few that are truly great. I reserve my 5-star ratings for those.

The book had no objectionable language, sex or graphic violence.

Fascinating that this is Gen Delacourt's series, but this one was mostly written from Bree's perspective

3.5-4 stars

Bree Butler is currently getting by writing bit pieces here and there: executive bios, etc. Nothing like the investigative journalism she wanted to pursue. On her way to an interview for a piece she's writing, she bumps into Gen Delacourt, a PI/lawyer who happens to live upstairs in her building and who was her friend ages ago. Fortuitous for Bree, as when she arrives at her client's office, the interviewee is dead, and the CEO finds her over the body and promptly calls the cops on her. Gen is her one phone call from jail. Bree and Gen found each other and rekindled their friendship just in time, adding their neighbor Liv to their ranks.

The plot keeps moving right along, introducing characters who may or may not need the reader's attention. I haven't seen mycelium as a menace in a book since, oh, A Series of Unfortunate Events. Greene doesn't write as though she's being paid by the page. It's smooth, her characters aren't overly ridiculous in their pursuit of the truth, though Bree pushes the envelope there a bit.

Fascinating that this is Gen Delacourt's series, but this one was mostly written from Bree's perspective, almost as though it was Bree's series. I'd read another just to see if they're all written in such a manner. Not sure why I read #2 first; I have Mark of the Loon in my kindle queue as well...

The Last Fairytale

I'm really enjoying this series.
