The main character is totally annoying and irrational. Just because she's dating a detective, she feels she has the right and the experience to investigate a brutal murder. Even when attacked, injured and on the run, she doesn't let up. She involves her son in her misadventures, exposing him to possible harm and other consequences. She shows up at a strangers door (to evade an attacker) and involves him, as well. Even when her detective boyfriend suffers negative consequences on the job because of her interference, she insists that what she is doing is helping him. Along the way, she compromises evidence, intimidates witnesses and contaminates crime scenes. All in all, nothing to recommend this book.
