Review: Too many plots and multiple psychopaths drag this book down
Rating: 1 out of 5

I wanted to like it, but Kelly puts too many plots and multiple psychopaths in the book that made that impossible for me. I got to where I skipped over the horrific pages with the psychos in it (except at the end-I wanted to make sure that the dog lived after all) after I found out that the horror was just thrown in for the heck of it as opposed to adding to the storyline as other authors can do. Kelly just puts in grusome unnecessary details for no reason than to shock the reader. I love, absolutely love dogs, but the dog here would never pass at being a police dog, and there was no reason for the detective to have a dog to begin with. The book has lots of humor and light moments in it-but with the pscyhos-it was inappropriate. There are other books out there for readers-don't pick this one.  Patricia Cornwell is an author that writes books where psychopaths abound-and they are well written-read those if that's your thing. Her books set a mood that continues throughout the storyline and hold your attention.
