Review title: My first Woods, but also my last
Product review: To be honest, I'm surprised by all the 4- and 5-star ratings. Despite the stray twist here and there, this book was extremely predictable. The dialogue did not ring true, and I also had the sense of the author pulling the characters around by the nose in order to facilitate his plot. This was especially noticable in the actions of Dino and the other cops -- occasionally they would do something that seemed to come out of left field. Later, a plot point would develop and I would say, "Ah, that's why the author had them doing that." The last thing you want is to see the author pulling the strings, so to speak, behind a work of fiction.
