I cannot figure out what people enjoyed about this book. The story was unbelievable and predictable, the characters weren't realistic, and it overall wasn't interesting. A 60 year old man who reads crime novels finds some of his old high school classmates are being murdered. He decides to investigate the murders himself, and continues to discover things the police are unable to. He does this by using Google, calling people and asking basic questions. The police don't seem to have a problem with this, and even start listening to his suggestions as he starts to run the investigation.While trying to save his ex-classmates, Jim runs into a woman he hasn't seen in 40 years. She admits she had a crush on him in HS, the sleep together a few hours later, by the next day they're saying "I love you" and the following day they're discussing marriage. SERIOUSLY??This book seemed like a teenager wrote it for a high school English class. It felt like every other sentence started with "I". It also seemed like all of the actions were those of an 18 year old, but the character was supposed to be 60. I didn't get it at all
