![]() ![]() ![]() It carefully explored a wide range of characters’ different responses to a traumatic event in a way that shed light on some of the emotions that other mystery novels never take the time to delve into. ![]() At it’s core, Pasadena is not a book about murder, but rather, it’s a book about problems. I opened Pasadena expecting a dark, thrilling mystery filled with high paced action, and though Pasadena presented me with a very different story, that isn’t at all a criticism of the book. With the help of Joey, her good friend-turned investigator-sidekick, Jude takes it upon herself to explore a diverse array of suspects in hopes of finding answers surrounding the possible murder of her best friend. From the moment Jude returns to her hometown, she suspects that Maggie’s death was more than a suicide, and her suspicions only increase as she immerses herself in the grief and confusion surrounding her friend’s upcoming funeral. Jude is on vacation on the East Coast when she receives a disturbing call that tells her that her best friend, Maggie Kim, was found dead in her swimming pool in her Pasadena home.
