The Edge of Dreams by Rhys Bowen
2.0
*I won this book in a GoodReads First Reads Giveaway*
This book was painful for me. I'm actually blown away that this is the 14th book in the series. Perhaps the author has ran out of ideas and the writing has gotten progressively worse. That is all I can come up with. Molly is obnoxious, arrogant, and plain rude. She talked about how every clue found was "all thanks to her" so many times, I almost put the book down and walked away. The way she continually rubbed her husband's failure in his face drove me insane. To be fair, her husband was also a complete jerk. I wouldn't put up with someone treating my friends that way.
The mystery itself was moderately interesting, but I could have done without the "what do dreams mean" side plot. I'm personally a big fan of dream interpretation, but I felt in the story it was used as a convenient way to help Molly solve the mystery. Overall, this book was disappointing. Plenty of potential, but terrible execution.
