Title: A turgid mess
Review: This book was boring, completely unbelievable, poorly written, and terribly plotted. Other than that I really didn't like it. The characters were cardboard cut-outs-especially the bad guys. The "love scenes" were painful- I don't care how Jam's lips taste one time, let alone 3 or 4 times. The climactic shoot-out was SO predictable I laughed. The gratuitous violence against women in this book makes one wonder ... Yes it's a murder mystery and people die in thrillers but wholesale slaughter of 3 housewives, 4 prostitutes in a brothel, not to mention what happens to them before they are killed-was sick and, more importantly, added nothing to the narrative. Wish I'd been the fifth blind mouse so I couldn't have read this.
