talk about deep intelligence

the writing of Ms Quinn is truly unique. i was surprised at book 1 with all the details, but this, although a different plotline. the depth of the heroines intellectual was written in an amazing way.
the H matched her smarts, as did the characters around her.
the art and design meshed in with studies and thesis analysis. it all sounds heavy, and I was thinking I was going to get bogged down in it.
however, I found the story to be encompassed by a subtlety of this intelligence. it was written like a romance dancing about the edges of a bigger crime that unfolds with each chapter
the whole living life in the moment and getting on with your bucket list was ever prominent and very poignant.
it seemed to move the story to a deeper, almost more personal realm
the ditziness of Berlin was the yin to Harpers yang moments, and at times, I wanted to reach in to slap her airhead, self-absorbed persona.
I haven't listened to any other series, although I have checked out the dust covers, so I knew the names of other series characters when they appeared.
the tone was kept pretty low key, I didn't feel suspense or angst grab me even when Fiona wrote a scene.
for me, it was like I was more interested in staying abreast of the intellect than the discovery of why she needed help
unlike most books, the action was very low with little crescendo.
Like book 1, it moves pretty quickly at the back end, so we get the solved case, with the H and the h, romance ensues, but without much steam, and I get my HEA
Aiden Snow is always my favourite, so I enjoyed his narration except for the Australian accent. I'm an Australian, and nope, it just didn't work.
