Greg is a likeable young man who becomes concerned when his sister disappears after a date with a tall, dark stranger.  While searching her apartment, he learns she participated in a dinner club for singles.  He decides to conduct his own investigation into her disappearance.  While at one of the dinner soirees he meets Megan, one of the more reluctant participants.  She has been dragged there by her femme fatale friend Brenda.  Brenda also goes missing leading Greg and Megan to join forces to locate and unmask the serial killer.Although the plot sounds promising, the execution is awful.  With the exception of Greg, all the charactes are one dimensional and immensely unlikeable.  I can certainly understand why none of them have dates.  The writing is clumsy, the red herrings painfully obvious and quite frankly, by chapter two, I just didn't care.  Greg and Megan's investigation consists of swilling wine and tramping through the outback, alienating the police and breaking laws, all done without wit or suspense.The author does no favors to those suffering from mental illness, making a character with bipolar disorder seem like a real freak. This book only succeeded at making a tattered old Sky Mall magazine look appealing.
