Ratings and reviews

While this book is readable my pet peeve Is how the main Charcter is portrayed her background is supposed to be A former Secret service agent. I would guess this would make her far more resourceful than how she is portrayed in this book. She's suppose to be a professional but comes off like a novice the supporting charcters are done very well the plot was good dialogue decent but the end very anti-climatic.

It started out interesting and entertaining enough but quickly lost steam. The main character was difficult to like; she wasn't very smart and seemed rather childish. Figured out the murderer midway through. Despite it all, I'd say it was still somewhat of a fun read here and there.

A very enjoyable read. The characters were well developed and not the usual tropes. A good plot. I usually figure it out but not this time. I highly recommend this book.
