I'm so glad to see that a few other people didn't like this book too! The storyline sounded good and what little parts of it were included in the book were good BUT...it was way too wordy! Mother of God- there are pages and pages of pointless text, so much so that I couldn't even force myself to finish reading it (and I almost NEVER won't finish a book...but after skimming and skimming to try to find pages that were interesting to read or involved the mystery itself, I just couldn't go on). I've got so many other books that I'm dying to read, I just couldn't justify wasting another night on this one. I would not get another book by this author. In fact, I'm not even posting it on here. I wouldn't want anyone to waste a credit!
