Review: Couldn't even finish...

So maybe, just maybe it got better, but it was just too painful to read any more than I did!!  I'm just happy it was a freebie on Kindle, at least! The premise of the story actually interests me; it sounded like a good set up for a mystery.  I love a 40 yo tough heroine, but the characters were just so one-dimensional and trite - and irritating.  And the belabored lusting for her assistant was annoying more than anything. Comparisons to Janet Evanovich just seem insulting to me!  Oh, and the crazy police officer determined to accuse her for the crime was ridiculous!  I freely admit that I didn't finish it, so maybe it got better, but I put enough time into it to know I just didn't care in the least what happened to these people. The bottom line of that is that I kept reading on for as long as I could take it, but then gave up - and I have to tell you that for me to not finish a book is extremely, extremely rare!!  I can't remember the last time I couldn't bear to read another line...  For some context, if it helps, probably my favorite mysteries are Sue Grafton's Kinsey series.
