Title: Disappointing
Review: After reading The Bone Collector, A Maiden's Grave was extremely disappointing. The hostages were not very strong characters and spent the majority of their time either crying or feeling sorry for themselves. Characters like that certainly make it difficult to stick with any book.The only interesting portions of the book were that of the hostage negotiator himself, how he negotiated with the hostage taker(s) and the internal politics that he comes up against and confronts while trying to do his job.The book does take a surprising turn at page 376 which makes the reader feel semi-rewarded for sticking with the first 375 pages of a ho-hum storyline.
