Review: Not developed enough

The subject matter was fascinating, the pace was fast, and the ending was unexpected. However, the author seems to have trouble writing about male characters. She did a great job with Beth (until the end), but the cops seemed emotionally labile--not what the good guys should be, and certainly not police officers. Pajama Man had the potential to be a very interesting character, with a lot more involvement. However, the author dropped him like an old dishcloth, and didn't bother to explain how he came up with his information, and what all it was. The red herring boyfriend was weakly done, as was a certain female at the end of the story. And Beth's fate--and how she got there? Completely unbelievable.This could have been a really enthralling book, had the author spent more time on it. It read as if it was just hastily thrown together, and I finished it in a couple of hours. The subject matter deserved more than that.
