Title: Couldn't get past chapter 1
Review: Enjoyed Harwin's first book but couldn't get past page 21 in this one. The main character, Catherine, is just about the most unsociable person yet. Her interaction with family and others borders on rude and obnoxious. I enjoy a good mystery where the main character at least has a level of consideration but this just annoyed me from the get-go.Sometimes I can get past this and give the book another 30 pages but this was too much for even me. This is not to say I don't enjoy books where the primary character is rough around the edges and prickly but this was just annoying to the point of not wanting to put up with 272 pages just to see if it would get better.
