Review: Don't Cry by Beverly Barton

Don't Cry           In this new serial killer thriller Beverly Barton introduces a set of fresh characters to enjoy and new web of interconnected friendships and old family secrets. While the main characters are Special Agent J. D. Cass and his budding relationship with grief counselor Audrey Sherrod, their friends and family are a close second.           The story is more mystery thriller than romance which a change from her other stories. There are short glimpses into the lives of Hart and Tamara that have wondering what will be next. I was still bouncing between the likely suspects for the Rocking Chair Killer until the very end but when the clues came together they fit very well and the story is tight.
          However, the relationship side of things with J. D. and Audrey left me unconvinced, the change in their feeling is too abrupt and they have other issues to work on that were not addressed.
          Luckily, Barton has already stated that there will be another book with these characters in the future so they will have an opportunity to work things out and convince me that there is something more to the relationship besides the mystery they were involved in together.
