Negative Positive
Title: Overrated, too long
Review: This book was so hyped that I really wanted to read it and like it. However, after struggling through the first 100 pages, I still had no interest in the murder of Bruner. Instead of building the murder case/investigation up, Kanon opts unsuccessfully to develop the romance between Connolley and Emma. Their stilted conversations became tiresome, and Kanon's feeble attempt to portray the two as flirtatious fell quite flat. As a thriller, the book is okay. As a romance, it is unsuccessful. If you must try this book, go for the paperback version
