Review: I'm reviewing it now in case I don't finish
Rating: 3 out of 5

I'm pretty good about sticking with a plot and finishing the books.After all, it's mysteries and thrillers, so it is basically filling in dead time, not curing cancer.I've hit the 50% mark with this book, and so far I've asked myself several times, "What the heck is the plot?"The characters are so flushed out, I feel like I went to school with them, but I don't know why they're in this book.Where's the mystery? Where's the thrills? The hero is Kari, and as far as I can tell, she hates where she lives, has no job,worries about her lost boyfriend, and is tutoring a wanna-be journalist, who she doesn't like.Then there's this other guy, Dan, who popped up suddenly, hates his job, sees his wife and kids on weekends, and one day kills a stranger. Huh?I've decided to write this review now, and if I stick it out, I'll update it periodically.I feel like I'm reading war and peace, not a mystery. Wish me luck, I'm going in!Let's hope it's not Bush's fault.Update:The second half was way better than the first. I finished it last night. So, now that it makes sense, I upped it to 3 stars (maybe 4)and I lowered the rating for the torturous first half.
