I was disappointed in this book for many reasons. The plot felt contrived as if the author tried every trick ever used in all mysteries put together. There were way to many of them. Then there were the characters, not that the reader has to like them but it's important to feel a connection with them, something I never felt. And the ending was a let down. Kind of a what just happened? I hate to be so negative, I could never write a book that was even readable and there were some readable and interesting parts among the evident flaws. I see the author as having great potential, she was just trying too hard her first time around.
