This book started out with a bang. Two unhappily married men talking about killing their wives while sitting in a strip club. Their dreams of whacking off their spouses before losing half of everything they own suddenly turn into a nightmare for Tom Widmer when he actually kills the other guys wife and gets caught. What follows should have been suspenseful and a book you couldn't put down, Unfortunately, the opposite happened to me.The story itself was good and interesting but then there are the parts about the main detective's life and his dating and his visits to his parents house and none of it brings anything to the story. The section when the police discover two witnesses to the crime also become a bogged down mess. Both could have been left out and the story would have been better.I was also not a fan of the ending, but I'll leave that you, the reader to discover.What should have been read in one sitting took me three days to finish. It was hard work to turn the pages and I found myself wondering if I should finish at all.This one didn't float my boat but that doesn't mean you won't like it. Give it a try and see.
