I always enjoy books from this duo, but I never rate them highly. A lot of characters felt disposable in this book, probably because they were sort of treated like that by some of the main characters. These same supporting characters were a little flat/one note. The short flashbacks to capture their raisin d’être very much felt like ones you’d see on TV. But unfortunately, without the constant visual reminder of the screen, I often found myself asking who was who. So while the plot is character driven, most of the characters lack dimensionality so I found myself caring little about the outcome.
Graphic: Murder, Stalking, and Rape
Moderate: Alcohol and Alcoholism
