I have read and enjoyed many books by Linwood Barclay but this one was a 'miss' in my opinion. Usually you can identify and care about at least one character, rooting for them to come out on top of the mystery and intrigue. But every main character in this book was basically unlikable. Not only did they break the law, but their justifications for doing so were selfish, immature, and downright mean. The chief detective was good at her job, but her character wasn't developed enough to make you care about her.
