Kim S. (kimberley18) reviewed on 6/17/2014

The writer seems to have the skills to weave a good tail. However, her choppy, overly dramatic writing with 2 page cliff hanging chapters (many) is a bit off-putting. Her main character seems a mystery still. She never seems to be fleshed out. She has been assigned a secret past that lacks interest and seems just a device. She thinks in telegraphic sentences. I liked the Irish detective of the town better than I liked her, although the premise seems to be that he is a sarcastic and obnoxious type. At least he is human and has thoughts and emotions, unlike the main heroine! Also, this same character, not Irish, seems to talk in the brogue! Weird. Overall, for plot, this book might receive 4 out of 5. But why the choppy, overly dramatic writing and cardboard characters?
