I allow only 100 pages to get me absorbed into a story and this one? DOES NOT!

I am not a fan of the 'before/after' etc. theme, I find most books written in that form as being very slow and boring, and this one is just as bad

There is not enough tension or anything to border on 'thrill' that makes you want to turn the next page, so at my 100 page mark? I quit reading

Even though this is a debut novel with a new chief detective I didn't find him interesting or any of the people around him, so unless Lodge can up her game and write an actual 'thriller' I'll not pursue her books
