Don't You Cry by Mary Kubica
3.0
This is a perfectly acceptable adult mystery. There's intrigue, suspense, and a mystery that you really won't see coming.
It's just not my kind of mystery. I can't put my finger on why, exactly. Maybe it's because I really, really didn't care about Alex's chapters. He's a perfectly nice young man, but I found his chapters boring and drawn out, even after Pearl starts opening up to him.
Quinn's chapters were far more interesting, though I found her conclusion leaping intensely over the top. I don't know why you would immediately leap to the conclusion that your roommate was trying to kill you. I mean...maybe I just don't understand because I don't do the roommate thing.
The glue holding this entire plot together is from a bottle bought in 1973. It still works, but don't touch your finished project too often, or it's all going to fall apart. But again, I didn't see the ending coming at all. So, well done on that front. ::shrug::
