Negative Positive
Title: Slow going
Review: I read 200 pages of this, and nothing much happened. Maybe the story starts to go somewhere in the second half; I didn't get that far.Mallory is a psychopath who is always on the verge of shooting people for minor indiscretions or for no reason at all. At one point she beats up an FBI agent without provocation and then walks away, while neither her victim nor his colleagues make any attempt to arrest her. The author really lost me with this scene; not only was it unrealistic, but it made Mallory seem like the quintessential bad cop - a violent nutjob who should not be carrying a gun or a badge.On the plus side, the prose is crisp and clean. There is some amusing interaction between Mallory and a state trooper at one point. And the paperback is nicely packaged in a "venti" (tall) edition. But since I didn't like the heroine and found the plot aimless and draggy, I can't recommend Find Me.
