Dead Serious case #5 Madam Vivienne by Vawn Cassidy

5.0

 
5 stars - I loved it!

TW: on page death of a parent with dementia; grief; homomisic family and coworkers; 

After the reveal of Vivienne’s murder at the end of the previous book I couldn’t wait to read this book to find out what happened. This book had a lot of intense emotions and big revelations that kept me hooked the whole time. 

The mystery of Vivienne’s murder was interesting and revealed new paranormals in this world. Vivienne has been a character that I have wanted to know more about since she showed up and while we don’t get a ton about her past, we do learn just enough I think. The Crawshank family continues to be a fascinating one that I hope we continue to learn more about. 

Outside of the murder mystery, this book was a very emotional one because Tristan’s father does pass away. While there is a lot of grief and loss in this book, there are also some uplifting and happy times. More Crawshank’s family is found, new paranormals are discovered, and we finally see Tristan and Danny get married. I think Vawn did a great job at balancing the grief and loss with the mystery. 

Overall, this was another great addition for this series. I can’t wait to see what will happen next for this couple and this world.
