BookGobbler Readers and Reviewers discussion

Bianca James thinks she has her life together. She teaches art at the local college, dotes on her car Picasso, and she has a wonderful best friend. But when Bianca discovers a murdered woman in the school’s storage closet, things become a bit more complicated.
Finn Tierny has returned to Riley’s Peak to help take care of his father. He joins the police force and is part of the crew that responds to the murder scene. He is surprised to see Bianca, his former art teacher and his older brother’s ex-girlfriend.
Bianca begins to receive threats after the murder and Finn does all he can to keep her safe. The two begin to fall for each other, even with Finn’s brother Dylan trying win Bianca back.
Everything comes crashing down and Bianca’s life is put in danger in a clever twist of an ending.
Chasing Symmetry started off really strong, I flew through the first few chapters with the murder investigation and then it started to slow down. I had to put it down and come back to it later.
Chasing Symmetry stands as a murder mystery and a love story. Police are trying to find the murderer and Finn is in love with Bianca and wants to keep her safe.
As a love story, it wasn’t believable for me. Bianca is caught in two interconnecting love triangles. One with brothers Dylan and Finn, the other with Dylan and his now girlfriend Jewel.
Finn comes back to town and is immediately protective of Bianca (obviously he’s already in love with her). And to be honest, he’s in love with a person he barely knows. The attraction seems to be all physical and that is a shallow base for a love story. Not to mention that she was his art teacher AND it’s his brother’s ex-girlfriend.
The murder mystery was a little on the slow end in the middle (hence my original 3 star review), but the clever twist at the end upped my rating. The author introduces several characters that have the potential to be the murderer. It kept me guessing through the whole book and the ending totally blew me away.
If you are a murder mystery fan, definitely give this book a try and see if you can figure out the ending better than I can!
Chasing Symmetry gets 3.5 starts.
