Disappointed
As I started this book, I thought I was really going to enjoy it but it seems to veer off course a few times which distracted & irritated me. The constant flirting (not reciprocated) between Det. Marco & Abe got a bit tiresome. And I don't like mysteries in which the police begin with the premise that the spouse did it & look at nothing or no one else. And to deliberately ruin Jake Ryder personally& financially because someone in authority ordered it made it apparent Marco & Broooks don't think for themselves. But for the investigative work of the suspect to prove another guilty, Jake would have apparently been railroaded to life in prison for a crime he didn't commit. Less time spent dwelling on Marco' s great looks & Peyton' s curly hair would you have been nice too. Won't be reading any more books in this series.
