Title: LACK OF BELIEVEABLE CHARACTERS MAKES THIS A MESS
Review: I think the author wrote himself into a corner with this, and didn't have the creativity or the energy to work himself out. That an Asian lawman would fall for a western woman is a bit of a stretch, especially if the woman is a grieving widow whose husband has just suffered from a serial killer. Naturally, the woman has to be a tall, gorgeous blond, but I found the situation wholly preposterous and insulting to both races. I don't know why the author had this in the mystery as it really had little to do with the outcome of the novel other than offer the reader some cheap titillation. I wish the author had stuck to the real issues in the thriller and kept it at that...
