The plotting was awful.

Spoiler alert
One of the things it turns on is someone who had been traumatized and abused (her parents were Christians, she was drugged/kidnapped, and later assaulted--all three of these were equally traumatic in the book) going to the person who assaulted her for help and opening her soul only to that person.

Beside all that there is hardly a mystery. The victim isn't even dead, but someone else was shot.

Overall both the plot and characters were beyond my ability to suspend disbelief.
