I was not impressed at all with this book.
It moves so slow it is just irritating, I just kept thinking 'keep going, keep going' but by page 200? it was just repeating the crime over and over and going no where, the investigation was so slow (and I know it goes faster on tv since they only have an hour) it just didn't keep me interested as much as I tried. How much repeat can you put into a story? I just flipped to the back and it pretty much sums it up in the Epilogue and that was enough for me.
Doubt I try any more by Harstad.

Loved this book. Have never read anything by Donald Harstad before but I will look for his books now. Love the sense of humor that was throughout the book.
