I would like to start off staying that I have read three Donna Ball books & I loved them.  This one I just didn't care for.  It is just an okay mystery.I am not going to give anything away for those of you who haven't read the book but the incessant talk about "Jack" drove me nuts.  How many times can you wonder what "Jack" would do?  It was just too much.  The main character, Cathy, was just too annoying in my honest opinion.  She graduated from Julliard but wouldn't try out for the Boston Orchestra?  If she was so afraid of failing why did she even apply to Julliard?  What is the difference?I also didn't really care for Dave, the other main character of the book. This man who doesn't even know Cathy comes along & can figure out the relationship between her and her brother and believes she is just so much more capable than they all think.  I don't know about capable because she didn't survive on her own brains.  She survived because of luck and a few mistakes on the parts of others.I don't know, if you are in the mood to read a mystery then by all means read the book.  Just know in advance that the main characters aren't really likable & I'm not sure I even cared if they survived or not.  Sorry Donna, I hate giving bad reviews but this one was just not so great.  I am glad this one was free.  If it was the first book I purchased of yours I probably would have never read any others.  I am glad I read the reviews and decided to read another one first.  You are a really good author and I would have missed out on some great books.
