Title: She got better after this one
Review: Had this been the first Linda Fairstein book I'd read, I would never have read another. Only stubborn refusal to give in allowed me to finish "Final Jeopardy." I found myself getting frustrated that such interesting premises and plot twists could be written in such a lifeless way.Also, having met the characters in another novel, I was surprised at how unlikeable they were in this one. The heroine behaves unprofessionally in her work life, and she is somehow both emotional and cold in her private life. It was difficult to sympathize with her. She didn't come across that way in the other book.There were good things. The short side stories of other sex crimes were interesting, if a little distracting. The author also does a good job of explaining why someone would want to pursue this particular disturbing career. You want to like her.Devoted Fairstein fans may like this book, but reading this one before the others may make it impossible to pick up the next one.
