Review: Excellent but loses one star for self-serving deviousness
Rating: 4 out of 5

I would have given this book 5 stars.  The plotting is excellent.  Likewise the characters are deep and real and individual.  I originally took this book as a freebie and put it on text-to-speech on the Kindle while I did housework, expecting it not to be interesting enough to draw me in.  Instead, I ended up stopping my work and reading it in a single afternoon.The problem?  The author threw in a totally unrelated plot element designed to rope you in to purchasing another book.  Rather than counting on  **Sleep Tight** to be good enough to get you to read her other books -- which it is -- she added an element about a break in at one of the officer's cabins that is unrelated to this story.  It makes her look like an insecure amateur, and I'm very sorry about it.  This book would have been a 5 star had she been able to drop that little self-serving twist.  It's the kind of mistake I think she'll be embarrassed about later.
