Well, that was dull.
This read was one long flat line that lead nowhere with an equally dull cast of characters and a plotline which took too long to get to the point of the matter. It was not until midway when you finally figured out what Sara Rosett was trying to tell the reader, and once there, you realized this story had been told a million times.
What began as a search for a missing co-worker drudged on with a submerged car, a body floating downstream and this preamble was literally a side note since the reason for Kevin’s death turned into nothing more than a tap that went too far and a sense of entitlement.
By the end, I did not care that Kate was a Hollywood location scout or a Jane Austen aficionado, that a romance was blooming, or that this was the first book in a series where there was a possibility that, in time, things could get better. I just wanted this book to answer the questions, so I could tie it up in a neat little bow, put it up on the shelf, and never have to look at or think about again.
