Title: What really, really bothered me though was all the out loud internal monologue
Review: Two stars means okay, but it really wasn't okay. I didn't hate it, but I did finish it so I feel that it should be one and a half stars. I used to devour Harlequin novels as a teen. I found this one laying around and it fit the parameters of a Book Challenge I was taking. Wow! Um....wow. The crime-solving plot was interesting. It was twisty-turning, making you look at all the suspects and casting blame this way and then that way. The love story, though, was completely implausible. A federal agent falls for the trophy wife he helped to put behind bars. The romance takes place over three days. What really, really bothered me though was all the out loud internal monologue. I can't understand why this author choose to have these people talk their feelings out loud? Why couldn't she just write it in the prose? It just made the characters seem ridiculous.
