A Small Town by Thomas Perry
3.0
3.5 stars. I'm not a huge thriller fan, but this one caught my interest and I grabbed it when I saw it on my library's "new fiction" shelf. The premise is a good one and I was fascinated by how the main character, Leah Hawkins, studied her targets, the environment, etc., to find the best way to get at them without getting caught herself. (I also loved that part of the book took place in Naples, Florida, a place I'm quite familiar with. Also - why specify a Manhattan address that anyone familiar with Manhattan would know immediately was an impossible address. I hate it when authors do this.)
I wasn't happy with the last chapter, however, which was basically an epilogue. The author jumped forward several years without any warning and brought in characters that were barely mentioned earlier in the book. It was a very sudden and disappointing way to wrap things up.
