I don’t understand the use of JD Robb when all over it says, “NORA ROBERTS writing as jd robb”
Huh.
Anyway, it was readable. But nothing clever. I knew the killer and the motive way before the cop did. That never happens in mystery books for me, I am no detective. Not […]

Dull.
It had the potential to be less so, but it never got there.  None of the characters were very likeable, except maybe Brian.  The eight year old.
Mostly the author just told you things about the characters, but there was no written proof.  Ruby was supposedly wonderful and loved and adored… but there was no content […]

The characters were blah, and all the forensic details bored me.
Not much else to add to that really.

The main character was so annoying that the story became pretty immaterial.  The whole time I was thinking, “ugh,  I hate her.”
Which really?  Is a huge deterrent.
Even if I hadn’t found her insufferable the book would still have been only a bad chick lit/mystery.  Very far from special.

I loved this one.  I can’t actually find it at the moment,  or I would put some quotes.
The characters were quirky but likeable.  It was funny and intelligent.  It was pretty much everything I like a book to be.
