Lola by Melissa Scrivner Love
4.0
I received this from a Goodreads Giveaway.
Lola is a competently written, carefully plotted, fast-paced crime thriller.
Melissa Scrivner Love's writing style gives away her background in television. That's not a bad thing. The plot and pacing are what you would expect from a T.V. crime drama, and it works very well for this book. Unfortunately, she occasionally uses T.V. shortcuts that seem out of place in a novel. Fortunately, she doesn't stick to only doing what you can show on television.
I don't usually read this kind of book, but this was an interesting crime story and an even more interesting character study. Lola is a complex, strong, cunning, interesting character... not a perfect person and maybe not necessarily a good one but all that combined made for a fascinating read.
