Helpful Score: 3
I was pleasantly surprised by this first book in a new series. The main character had depth and believability. Her snarky internal comments were dead-on without being mean and she came off as being smart, resourceful, and grounded in reality.
I wasn't quite as enamored of most of the secondary characters, but that could change with more development ... for now, they seem fairly shallow and stereotypical:
BEST FRIEND: Former Olympic athlete, black, software engineer running a New Age store for a vacationing relative. The store is, of course, located in the mall.
SECRETIVE HANDSOME GUY: Owns a cookie store in the mall, shows up unexpectedly when trouble occurs. Avoids answering personal questions.
DETECTIVE: Cute, gives our heroine the tingles when he smiles, but looks down his nose at the "Mall Cop".
GRANDFATHER: Retired, but stuck in his glory days as a CIA operative. Loves to play with gadgets and snoops to keep his skills up. Always has "connections" to get things done.
MEAN BOSS(ES): Head of security - drinks a lot and has low morals. Mall Manager: Self-promotional and cheap.
