ruenicorn 's review for:

Solitude Creek by Jeffery Deaver
4.0

I'm really really mad at the way the pointless love triangle was handled and resolved. extremely disappointing. Like, horrible letdown, so I take away a star for the needless multi-book plotline with the let-down and rushed resolution. This plotline always made me mad and its conclusion basically had me fuming ... but the REST of the book, like the rest of the series, was utterly phenomenal.

Unlike other beloved mystery authors who have done personal storylines for characters that made me angry, the uttet distaste for that angle doesn't make me hate the book or even dislike it. It didn't detract from the plot, and Deaver still shows no sign of losing his edge, also unlike other beloved mystery series of mine.
