I appreciate and respect the fact that Ms Dufresne wrote a mystery, which is no small achievement. I love mysteries and have read, literally, thousands of them. My favorite ones are in 1st person. I received this book through Amazon and was impressed with the cover. But, as hard as I tried, I just could not get past the first chapter. You have a new employee who takes charge of a murdered boss within minutes of her employment?  My first thought was, who are you and how do we know you didn't kill the boss?  But, she takes over while other employees of this mental health clinic just bow down to her orders.Frankly, she came across as narcissistic and seemed to have little or know concern that she was in the middle of a crime scene.When an author is unable to make me like their characters, then I am put off and close the book.I gave this book 2  stars for the time and effort of the author, plus I did (could) not finish the book. Maybe it gets better. Maybe, I would have warmed up to Sam Darling. I don't know. But, I do know that I have more books to read. Best of luck to you, Ms Dufresne. As a former editor, my unsolicited advice is to research how someone who has never come upon a crime scene before would react. Sarcastic and bossy behavior is best left to a policeman or background character.
