Review: Just O.K. Really worth 2.5 stars in MHO
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 06 2, 2013
Kate Redman's first case on her new job is the kidnapping of a baby from a wealthy entrepreneur and his wife. This was a rather bland read for me. All the characters are well done and stay true to themselves, but I found them to be lackluster, except perhaps for Kate's partner. I was able to figure out "who dunnit" too early for my liking, which is always a let down for me in a mystery. I only gave this a 2.5 rating because I didn't find this to be an exciting mystery. I thought Kate was a rather bland personality; she didn't have that spark that I look for in a main character. I realize that she had a lot of emotions to work through, but that isn't the spark of personality that I look for in a lead character. The story just didn't have that something that separates the really good mystery from the everyday. The .5 star was given because I was able to read it all the way through without skimming. I'm not real sure I would read more from this author, frankly. This is just my opinion, mind you. Others found it worth 5 stars...I found it to be just OK.
