I love mystery/suspense where the main character is not a cop or PI.

That's about the only good thing I can say about this book. Interesting premise, but soooooo poorly executed. The story jumps forward illogically, and you're just supposed to accept the turn of events. The dialogue is IRRITATING: The main character says "I don't understand" so often that I not only noticed it, but started counting during the last 1/3 of the book. Had to keep up my interest somehow. And when the character says it, it is very stilted and sounds completely wrong. The rest of the writing is very disjointed as well. I only finished this book because I *did* want to see what happened, but I say don't waste your time. There are many brilliant mysteries out there, and this ranks WAY toward the bottom.
