Review title: Awful
Product review: There are lots of favorable reviews for this potboiler, which I simply don't understand. The plot is simultaneously full of holes, full of coincidences that crush any suspension of disbelief, and almost completely predictable. Anyone who doesn't figure out "who dun it" by the middle of the book just isn't paying attention, and the final plot twist is so clearly telegraphed that it's just a relief when it's finally over. The characters are cliches, the angst of the central character generates no sympathy, the egregious use of over-the-top methaphor and simile is numbing, and this male author should be legally prohibited from trying to write sex scenes from a feminine perspective. Only those indulging a mild curiosity about sexual sadism would enjoy any part of this. In the interest of encouraging quality in the genre, please do not purchase this book.
