Struggled to get through it
The author is usually one of my favorites. The first 90% of this novel was so predictable and frustrating. In fairness, the frustrating part was the format. Since it was so predictable, I just wanted it to be sequential. If I was the kind of person who could start a book and not finish it, I would have. It felt like a chore. I did start skimming halfway through, just to get to the end. That last 10% got good, was actually a potential plot that I would have thoroughly enjoyed, but it was rushed and overly dramatic at the same time. The Police Officers and FBI Agents would never behave that way, perhaps one individual for storyline purposes, but not the whole force. The actual ending was saccharine and simply unbelievable. Lots of potential in hindsight, but in my mind was an early rough draft that editors and publishers should have steered another direction.
