I found this a little on the 'over the top' side. Our murderer is delusional. He has a prison cell beneath his flower shop where he tortures and murders his victims, then puts mementos up on his wall. Our hero, Lizzy, ends up saving her FBI beau (a feminist reversal that worked nicely.) As for the other women: Jessica isn't suited for the PI life and returns to criminology school. Hayley, the tough chick, discovers on the last page that her mother has been brutally murdered, thus setting up the next book.
Excellent start . . . orphaned girl with a knack for chess, taught by janitor, harsh orphanage despite its courtly look.
