Skimming a few reviews despite a fear of spoilers, I guess I already know who the killer is and at least one star That is this book will not get, if it Proves right (and the reviews point in deed direction).
Past the 30% did I set myself as the point where can I load abandon a book, I will try to finish it, but it drags, more personal stuff, than suspense and murder. What I would really like is if the killer turns out to be someone different from my guess, or one of the main persons, like the female detective, gets killed - yeah, like that will happen. A real major twist Could Save it, but so far I am into nearly FF-mode, will soon start only skimming the pages. Never felt so much the urge to read the ending.
This Could Get 2 stars Although I have trouble justifying the secondstar at this point in the book.
Too much family, too much thinking of the main characters about romance and partnership. If at least one of the characters where gay, or a real pervert or something else interesting.
No twists, everything as expected from the beginning, 1 additional star as I wonder how a book with a redheaded detective chasing a serial killer can be as dull. Oh, wait, she is not really chasing the killer, more like she stumbles into him, as she has more family live and dull romances and nearly no sex (one plain boring sex-scene). Not at all realistic. She would have been better of taking the job at the FBI Offered and doing real work. If You Want to read a good romance-suspense book look elsewhere, no suspense to be found here. Should have abandoned it. Recommendation: The Early romance books by Tess Gerritsen. Maybe it is too long ago I read them, but still, They Can not Be as bad as this one.
Recommended if you have trouble going to sleep ...
