2.0
The idea for this book was good, but too often, I was pulled out of enjoying the book because of a plot hole.
<SPOILER>
Josie is accused of lying about being at the store. Video - either the store or the mall 0 would show she was there. But that never seems to be brought up. Then a few pages later, suddenly there is video for something else. Fingerprint analysis take weeks or months, not hours to do. Josie and the killer get into a massive fight lasting several minutes in a public place, but there is no one to see it.
</SPOILER>
I liked the characters and there is some decent character development. But overall, this book just isn't good enough to want to read any more of the series.
