The philosophy discussions were absurd, too elementary and in no way interesting. These people are allegedly intelligent, educated and interested in ideas of the mind. Philosophy for dummies would not interest any of them.Police officers who break, enter, Etc.To obtain evidence they know is not admissible, absolutely ruining any case they might have is equally incredible. Give me a break. Maybe Dallas is different, but the District Attorney can't behave as Phillips did. Actually the motivation of every character, as well as most of their conversations and actions, are so far from reality as to be ludicrous.Even so, I wanted to know who the murder was and how the book ended, another tidy disappointment. I gave the book three stars because Mr. Alkek is a very talented writer. I just wish he had used his talents. I guess he is good at dramatic tension, no mean feat.
