Helpful Score: 8

My reaction to this book is more of a puzzle than the mystery itself--on the one hand, I finished it to see who of the many quirky characters were the "bad" guys. On the other, I just had a really hard time believing in the main character: with a family background like hers, she is certainly naive (clueless may be a better term?) about her investigating methods. Maybe I just have a hard time with willy-nilly female characters, but this was reminicent of a female Keystone Cop; not quite a true bumbling idiot, but close.

I am really glad this was a borrowed book (no money or credits spent). Since it is a debut novel, I may eventually see if the second storyline improves, but it certainly is not near the top of my TBR mountain.
