Review: Good story, characters a little unrealistic

I found Vicki's general style to move the story along nicely, but the characters are never developed to the point that you start to feel their feelings. Dervla, the main character stumbles through an amateur investigation of a murder, but it is hard to imagine that she would get very far in real life before the murderer would have gone ahead and killed her too. The discovery of the murderer's identity is too sudden, without enough premonition to make it an enjoyable "aha" moment. Probably, young female readers would find less to complain about, so read it if you like somewhat scary stories about young female protagonists.
