Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I never give up on a book. Never. If an author can spend months or years or their life writing a novel, I can devote a few hours of mine to reading it. I finished this one, but it left a very bad taste behind. Sloane, the female PI of the plot, is about as incompetent, disagreeable, just plain dumb character I’ve ever met. That’s ok, I don’t have to like the main character. I don’t have to like any of them, but none of the characters in this book are believable. I guess I should have given up when Sloane’s assistant and friend joined her on a trip to interview a witness wearing nothing but a bikini and sheer coverup. Or maybe when Sloane stole a critical piece of evidence, leaving fingerprints all over it, or maybe when the police detective barged into her hotel room while she was taking a shower, cuffed her to the towel rod and demanded she turn over the evidence. Whatever happened to the procedures, the chain of evidence required to make it admissible in court? Breaking into houses, leaving a trail of destruction behind her, bumbling around like Columbo on crack, Sloane is a joke. Especially when the police start begging for her help because she’s never failed to solve a case. Whatever. And of course in the end, Sloane is a hero, uhhhh... I won’t say any more just in case you still want to read this one... I won’t spoil the ending. Whatever. I hate to low rate any book, I truly do because I realize how much effort goes into any novel, but please. Get real!!
