Gentle Readers...this was not my type of book. I was expecting a gritty crime story and what I got was fluff. The basic idea of the book intrigued me; however, I found most of the characters boring and the author's writing style lacking. In defense of the book, I was the ONLY member of my book club who didn't like it -- the rest of them are still raving about it. It would probably make a good movie -- so I gave it 2 stars!
