paulabrandon's review against another edition
1.0
Trish Maguire is upset at the murder of a social worker friend, Kara Huggate. Kara's last letter to Trish before her death asked her to help out Blair Collons, who believes he was fired from a town council because he was getting too close to a conspiracy involving the acquisition of land that could be contaminated with chemicals. Or something. Blair thinks this is the reason Kara died too! Except Kara's death seems tied to a string of rapes years earlier. And Blair himself is a creepy man that Trish doesn't like at all! Throw in a vice cop and a local crime lord and you have the recipe for a total yawnfest!
This was slowly plotted. Dialogue was terrible - it didn't feel like real people talking! The chapters about Sandra and Michael were close to pointless. We get a chapter where we're introduced to about twenty cops, but thankfully only about four of them seem to have any plot importance. I was just bored, bored, bored the whole way through! There are no real surprises in the plot, it just ambles along until the full, unexciting truth is revealed. It then has the audacity to end with a big part of the plot unresolved! Boo! I was so glad when I finished it. Now I never have to think about it again!
