Waste of Time. Even the major book critics gave this just an average rating.

Wow. This was not one of Ms. Gerritsen's better novels. I rarely quit before the end of a book but I only went 100 pages with this one. I have too many worthwhile books to start.

She must be busy with the new series on television (which I absolutely love!) and threw this together to be done with it. It was repetitious and full of filler. For example: On one page she said that the "wind blew sharp as a pin", the the very next page she said the "wind blew sharp as glass". Believe it or not, a few pages later she was back to describing that nasty old "wind" again. In the very least the editor dropped the ball.

I felt constantly that things were added or really stretched to add the pages up. Big disappointment. So, okay, I know it's not expected to be award winning literature, but I know she can do so much better. I hope this isn't an effort she plans to repeat.
