content: It would be interesting to divide the book up and compare how much of the book is spent having sex vs. how much on the actual plot? The plot itself is introduced but never followed through. So many story lines are left hanging in the air, including the case she was on about a serial killer that didn't manage to be solved in 658 pages. Her characters, as always, are engaging but her story lacks anything solid to stand on.Read it if you've read the other books in the series, if not, don't bother. That's the only reason why I read it - even though the last one and this one are very disapointing to say the least, I feel obligated to finish out the story of Anita Blake.
