Review title: A disappointing and cliche-ridden suspense novel
Product review: This is a book that started out promising to be an interesting read, but quickly degenerated into one of those "I know I'm wasting my time, but maybe something interesting will happen in the next chapter" books. I was especially disappointed in the ending, where the conclusion became a promo for Hoag's sequel novel. I'll pass on the sequel. The characters were cliches of characters from bad TV series: The tough but tender-hearted cop with a secret in his past, the tough but vulnerable female cop who falls for the tough but tender-hearted cop, etc. Hoag tries to spice it up with some mild sex scenes, but in the end you wonder what these two cops see in each other -- with as many hang-ups and pieces of emotional baggage they're carrying, it's a wonder they're able to function
