the_alexeli's review against another edition

I...failed to realize that this was partially a murder mystery. I am not fond of murder mysteries/thrillers. They sadly just tend to bore me and I find no entertainment in them. I had gone into this book hoping for a story on the women and their lives and cultures and individual personalities and hopes/desires. This was sadly very overshadowed by the murder mystery aspect and got pushed aside as a subplot rather than the main premise. For these reasons, I am going to leave this book unrated since it's more just not my type of book rather than anything being wrong with the writing or the storytelling.

Really did enjoy seeing Nikki's growth, though.
