A review by jj24
The Captain's Daughter by Meg Mitchell Moore
2.0
This could have been called "Despicable Me," except that title has already been claimed.
While I enjoyed Moore's last novel, "The Admissions," this book is something else all together. I found it hard to connect with most of the characters, as their actions belied common sense. Several plot points seemed contrived (a character on death's door shows up out of the blue for a Clint Eastwood "Go ahead. Make my day" moment, among one of several head-scratchers).
Not sure if I was "off" during the reading of this, or if it was the book.
Thank you to NetGalley and Doubleday for a galley of this book in exchange for an honest review.
