Title: Disappointing
Product review: My main problem with this book is that the characters weren't real to me. I found the Chief's attitude toward Alex unbelievable; the Chief was mad at Alex no matter what he did. I know a novel needs conflict, but so much between those two characters was manufactured. At one point, a deputy tells Alex that the Chief wants him arrested him on sight. Arrested for what? Cooperation? Also, the fact that a grown man (Edwin) needed a "babysitter" didn't work for me at all. The way Edwin's mother behaved was more in line with the way she'd deal with a 12-year old. Based on some of the other reviews - that Hamilton gets better with each new book - I might try one more of his later ones. Those of you who gave this book five stars would LOVE Michael Connelly, Jeffery Deaver or Linda Lippman.
