Review title: 1 Star as a "Book", 3 Stars as a "Genre Book"
Product review: I read this book as an attempt to broaden my horizons as a casual reader - never much for mysteries - and I wound up wanting to put it down 1/2 way through.Like other reviewers, I found the characters to be fairly thin confections, and the plot to be overly twisty. But my biggest problem is simply that the Author "cheats". By that I mean that instead of simple misdirection, sections of the book are written that, in light of later developments, simply "aren't true".I guess I'm used to straightforward books where you read what is before you, and can more or less trust it. But when you read something that is abruptly twisted later on, or ignored, or given an almost unbelievable interpretation to make the plot creak along, well, my "suspension of disbelief" flies right out the window.The last chapter of the book was just too much. Ugh. I may try another mystery, but not in this series, and perhaps, not ever again one by Patterson.
