3.5 - This one didn't grab me like 1, 2, and 4 did and for about three quarters of the book I thought it was me. I usually switch back and forth between many genres and don't usually read the same genre back to back to back. Before reading this though I had read (and loved!) the 1st and 2nd D.D. Warren books. Maybe I was getting burned out was my thought.
In the last quarter I started second guessing myself. I just don't think this is like the other three that I've read. It's not bad by any means - just not as good. I'm very happy that I read the 4th book before this one or I might have incorrectly assumed she'd fallen off.
This kept me guessing, the suspense level is almost on par with the others, and I think it may have been a bit too *busy*. I'm having trouble putting my thoughts into words.
I think the story just, for whatever reason, didn't feel all that real to me. The wife and her dissappearing act, her killing what's-his-name at the same time the other person dies (I'm marking this as having a spoiler but I don't want to say too much.... just in case..) It seemed to contrived.
I don't know - I'm still eager as hell to read [book:Love You More A Detective D.D. Warren Novel|8701129].
