I enjoyed reading "The Color of Light" up until near the end. I was happily reading even tho some plot items were predictable and always used. ie: The guy and gal have an unhappy past and they try to distance themselves from one another only to not be able to resist each other, LOL... And we the readers can guess what will be found in the mysterious hole---long before the characters figure it out.
***Spoiler Allert***
But right at the end the writer lost me when even when the skeletonized remains are found and mearly feet away ,within a few hours. The cops leave the scene, they suspect it was the corpse of their long lost best friend, And they have to get down and dirty-grinding sand into each others body parts. Who thinks about having sex on the beach just after a dead friend is found? The book ends predictably and I just skimmed the last few pages; by then I knew how it would be wrapped up.Up until that moment in the book- the big build up to the discovery of the body I was happily along for the ride.
