Review: Not all it could be.

I thought this book was an OK read. One of the things I wasn't happy with was that there was not a lot of depth to the characters nor did you get too involved with them. I wanted to shake poor old Rose. Never having has any connection to a battered woman, I was kind of out of the loop as to emotions but as this is what the author does for a living, I am quite sure she knows what the realities are. Horrific a lot of the time I know by watching the news,  but this had a tendency to go on too long and yes there were some dumb moves on their part and the cops are not usually that way I would hope?  Especially after signs of a struggle and blood, I would think they would be willing to take it on. I have to agree with one reviewer who  wanted to know "who the Judas was" in the office. That was a dangling string.  As  Ms. Price is involved with such things in her job, I  will look forward to seeing her get into maybe a REAL story with strong characters and a lot of depth. I think she could make this happen. Until then, her book was a quick read, too typical and not  involved  enough in real life circumstances.
