Title: Smart Woman Doing Stupid Things.
Product review: If you like books about supposedly intelligent women consistently doing stupid things to create tension and excitement, then this is a book for you. Otherwise, give it a miss. While I like the characters in the book very much, it seems the author loses respect for them about halfway through - having them do very stupid, nonsensical things to create tension, excitement. Because I get so annoyed at a woman, supposedly very intelligent, doing something so stupid to put not only herself, but also her friends in danger - the tension becomes artificial, and, quite frankly, a let down. And it happens over and over again. One more thing - I just don't understand how a trained forensic anthropologist who must always work with things that most of us would find upleasant, could have such an impossibly weak stomach. She got nauseous a lot over unpleasant things in this book. Come on. She should be a stronger heroine!
