![]() ![]() Lowell does a decent job tying all of these elements together, although there's a clear demarcation between the half of the story involving "Faith and Owen travel to South Carolina", and "Faith and Owen arrive at the Monteageaus' mansion, and deal with all the drama there", and the transition between the two parts isn't entirely smooth. We've also got a stolen priceless Russian ruby, and the torrid secrets of a South Carolina family who've commissioned Faith to design a necklace for a forthcoming wedding-that of her own best friend. This time around, the Donovan Sibling Du Jour is Faith, Honor's sister, and we finally get some payoff on the plot point set up in previous books, involving an asshole ex-boyfriend. It's got the most complex of any of the plots in the series up to this point, and since it's a bit longer than the previous ones as well, Lowell has more time to develop the various characters. The fourth book of Elizabeth Lowell's Donovans series, Midnight in Ruby Bayou, is for my money the best of the lot. ![]()
