Notebook Mysteries ~ Suspicions (Notebook Mysteries Book 5) by Kimberly Mullins – Review by Desiree Ottinger

Notebook Mysteries ~ Suspicions by Kimberly Mullins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Emma and Jeremy find themselves in the middle of a very unsavory mystery involving children. While they work their way through finding the person in charge of these despicable crimes, they are brought back into contact with someone from Emma’s past. Sorting through everything drains them both physically and emotionally. When they are surprised with a much-needed beach vacation, they jump on the chance to go. As they part ways to work different cases, they think life will return to a more normal pace. However, a friend’s visiting family member starts acting a little too forward in his attentions to Emma. Will Jeremy make it back before this person crosses the line? Can they answer the questions that arise because of him?

I enjoy this series. This book was heavier than any of the others concerning the subject matter. While the topic was heavy, the author didn’t get bogged down in the details of how heinous some acts were, letting the reader come to their own conclusions. I appreciated that immensely. Emma is still her precocious self, and Jeremy loves her quirkiness. The reader gets to see a very protective side of Jeremy in this book that I liked too. Sometimes he seems to just go with the flow, but he really put the pants on with their unwanted guest. All in all, it was an excellent addition to this series!
