I read all the positive reviews of this book and I read the first free chapters free on Amazon. I was intrigued. I bought the book and started reading with great hope of finding another great author. Unfortunately, the interest soon waned as more and more obtuse characters were introduced but not defined. You almost need a pad of paper to write down who is who and what their involvement in the case is. Everyone is a stereotype and shallow. I forced myself to finish the book, many questions are unanswered and I won't go out of my way to read anymore of the author's books. I was very disappointed. I've listed the book for sale on Amazon, I don't even want to give it to my literary friends to read and I usually either keep a novel or share it if I don't want to add it to my bookshelves. That says everything.
