I really like the meat of PC'c books, this is no exception, characters, plot and story are all enjoyable and well thought out. Unfortunately PC continually falls flat on ending the books. No exception here. She tends to lay out the perfect story and details thoughout all but the last 1/2 of the last chapter and then seems to do a oh no have to get this to my editor , how do I end it, PLOP, there is the end. Have stopped reading her entirely because of the continual disappointment in the final few pages of her books.

Not so bad it's unreadable, but has WAY too many flaws leaving me wondering A) how stupid does he think his readers are 2) how did he miss them 3) why is he paying his editor.
Many are plot driven preventing me from mentioning w/o issuing a spoiler alert. I have no problem with a little scientific/procedural license but this was pathetic. I wish I knew someone who has read it recently just so I could vent on the list of issues.
Other errors were more mundane - it's 9am in one paragragh when the judge calls gavels the court into session. Four (or so) paragraphs later - after waiting sometime time for a character to show-up in court it somehow became 8:15???? If there weren't so many plot problems I may not have notiiced (or cared), unfortunately there are. But if you noticed I switched from alpha to numeric listing in the 1st paragraph of this review - the book will drive you up the wall.

really easy to get into , but despite trying to sound like a complex mystery needed to be solved it was very predictable and easy to figure out.

slow to start, no action, and blah ending. readable, just not enjoyable.
