Shadows in the Starlight by Elaine Cunningham

Shadows in the Starlight (Changeling)
I picked this book up at the library. Didn't know that it was a sequel to another book which I hadn't read. In fact, I didn't figure that out until I was halfway through the book.

The prologue was great. Good introduction to the characters. But then it fell apart. Gwen is handling 3 separate and unrelated cases and her attention is too divided to let the reader develop any interest in any of her clients. Seemed like most of the book was discussions about things that happened 'off stage'. I never did catch the reason the Medical Examiner was killed, and I was very annoyed at the heroine revealed the solution to the missing woman's case. (not enough details given for the reader to figure it out with her).

Unless you a fan of Cunningham's other books in this series, don't waste your time.
