This book needs more character development. Most of the second half plots and deaths are because of her and that needs to be examined. There were so many characters in this book, but they were all underdeveloped. I also felt like her personal relationships took up so many pages, but they revealed very little about her. Although this is a police procedural, there was very little police work happening during the first half of the book which is a shame. They rushed to speak to the imprison serial killer and it was unnecessary.
