We all know bitches exist in this world, but you certainly don't want them to be the heroine of a mystery because, guess what, readers tend to read from the perspective of the main character and if she sucks, wah-la, the whole book sucks. This is exactly the case in this book. In fact, Mandy is such a horrible character I really want to shake her.
Warning! Spoilers ahead!
Mandy is whining about her life, her career, and so forth when she doesn't give a damn about her sister, leaving the burden to her aunt when she goes away to study medicine. That's not the selfish part, even after her aunt's death, she returns to town to take care of her sister but guess what, she is whining all the time and leaving the caretaking to her neighbor and a high school boy (who I adore for being so nice and really loving Paget, way more than her real sister)!
Mandy may find herself disliked by the community in her whole hometown but who could blame them She wanted to stop the boy from pursuing his career and faked pregnancy. She revealed a horrible secret to her best friend whom she grew up with just to get at her because the brother would not give up his career for a selfish girl who slept with him because SHE WANTED TO. Worst, she didn't come back to pay tributes when her best friend's mom died, and that mom looked after and loved her. No wonder Penny's dad hated her, SO DO I!
Mandy is one semester from graduating and getting her medical degree. Why wouldn't she just go and finish it off? That way, she would be in a better position to take care of Paget (not that she had done anything anyway). People have offered to help but she didn't take up the offers because guess what? She wants others to pity her... erk, makes me wanna vomit.
To make matters worse, she is flirting with Colin and drinking cocktails when she's supposed to go undercover, distracting the guy along the way. At least the latter is professional enough not to drink with her.
As for the plot, it's one of the most ridiculous I have ever seen. For one, which cops in the world would ignore a case report of a crime (finding a dead body no less)? Even if the person has a medical record of mental disorders, I still think the cops would check it out. This is so unbelievable I am shocked when I learn the author works in the legal field. Fiction is not real but should be based on reality ... this is too much even for me.
This doesn't deserve a star but sadly, there is no 0 rating at Goodreads, they should include 0, just for this book! I don't recommend this to ANYONE and certainly I am not going to read the rest of the series (or from this author).
