Review title: Boring and contrived
Product review: This is a book that should not be set aside lightly. It should be thrown ... with great force. I bought this book while on vacation, just looking for a little mindless escape. I had just finished reading the latest from Jeffrey Deaver, so I was in the mood for another good mystery. This one isn't. The characters are cardboard, the romance is corny and contrived, and the plot - such as it is - just plods on. I kept thinking that it would get better if I just kept going a little bit further, but found myself skipping whole paragraphs until I finally gave up after 116 pages. That's when I turned to the Amazon reviews and my suspicions were confirmed. And to think that there's a sequel that's even slower than this!
