This was a hard review for me to write because the plot behind the book could have been a great read. As the title implied, my impression of this book was that I had a square and was just waiting for the music and caller.There are four distinct sets of characters; one for each couple in a square dance. First there was the man and woman in the prologue. Unfortunately I did not find out what their part was until well into the story; close to the end. The next pair is the drunken detective and his wife. A young pair, Muslim boy and Jewish girl and finally the bad couple; the CEO and his janitor (cleans up the messes his boss makes.) Now we have our square, grab your partners and let’s dance.Now to the serious part, this was not an easy to read mysteries because it was chopped up in short chapters. Many of these could have been easily combined with a simple transitional phrase without destroying their mean. For example, one chapter was only 19 lines long. This pattern tended to break the reader’s concentration.It was a good mystery plot destroyed by the format. I do not recommend you spent any hard earned money on this book.
