sarahjean 's review for:

The Crossing Places by Elly Griffiths
2.75
mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

This book was OK.  It focuses more on the main character and her relationships than the actual mystery which I felt took a backseat to relationship/emotion stuff.  I can see some potential growth for the characters perhaps in future stories and I did enjoy the fictional location that was created for the story.  I just wish there would have been a little more focus on the actual investigation and clue gathering.
