Title: GOOD PREMISE, BUT WAAAAAAY TOO WORDY!
Review: This is the first Carol O'Connell book I've read. The basic plot was a good one, but the author's writing style made it very tough to get through the book. It was almost like a high school term paper written with sentences far too long and extra words thrown in everywhere, in order to make a 6-page paper into a 10-page paper!I'm also a little tired of gorgeous female detectives ... how about a little realism? Also, this woman hasn't met a computer that she can't hack into! Come on, without this superhuman ability, the whole story falls apart.Finally, what was the deal with the abused dog??I'll try another Mallory story, but unless it feels more like enjoyment and less like a chore, it will be the last.
