Title: Dumb heroine, slow plot
Review: This book annoyed me so much that I had to stop reading it 1/3 of the way in. For someone supposed to be a smart, caring mother, Nicole does some really dumb things. Someone in a wolf mask climbs their 6-foot high fence to peer in through her daughter's bedroom window and she doesn't call the police, because oh, it's probably just one of her students playing a joke? Her soon-to-be-ex drives their daughter home while drunk and she doesn't call the police??Combine that with "Well, as you know, when I moved home seven months ago..." dialogue, and you've got a mystery that's really not going anywhere. Give me a feminine protagonist who can look after herself *and* knows when to call 911, please!
