Deadly Undertakings by Gregg Luke

Not bad for a Mormon novel, but I'm not really fond of Mormon novels. It contained too much churchy stuff and too many descriptions of local places that were totally irrelevant to the plot and just annoyed me.
A lot of people commented on the goriness level. I've read all the Kay Scarpetta books, so that part didn't bug me at all. The plot was a little weak. It was obvious to me the bad guy would either be the total jerk that you most suspect or the total hero that you least expect. It was also obvious that the main characters would live happily ever after, though I admit that there were a few twists that surprised me.
I thought the last 1/4 of the book was the best, but in general it was a book I could put down at any time. Which isn't always bad...helps when I need to get to sleep at night :-) It wasn't a waste of time but I can't in good conscience give it more than two stars when comparing to all books and authors. Compared to other Mormon books, I'd give it more of a 3 or 4.
