Title: exciting but a bit clunky
Review: Overall, this was a page-turner. I cared about the victim, and enjoyed the other interesting characters.Some little things that annoyed me: everyone was always referred to by their full name, even when the main POV character was thinking of them, and they were close personal friends. Odd. It threw me out of the narrative. The emotional stuff was a little clunky sometimes, and repetitive. Subtlety: C+Being from Arizona, I loved the way Jance wrote longingly about the rain, about how beautiful it was, how it promised respite from the heat. Most literature associates rain with cold or gloom. Most literature doesn't fit the desert.The end was quite twisty and exciting. Overall a good read.
