And maybe I'm not a cop, but boy, unless things really are that different in small college towns in the South this "investigating" was far from realistic. Claire's daughter is obnoxious (not all 14 year old girls are obnoxious) in a very trite way.The relationship that is most likely going to develop (actually by reading the synopsis of some of the later books I know it does) is with the cop that is investigating the murder and Claire specifically. Such as the author talks about Ms Malloy's late husband at a time in the book that left me wondering if I had missed a book and that this one wasn't the first in the series. Perhaps she thought that she should write something 'highbrow' to offense the fun that is Arly Hanks.The plot had holes big enough that you could drive a truck through some of them, the characters were not fleshed out very well (although perhaps they flesh out better later in the series), the back story comes at very odd times. It is so far into a different realm as to be nearly unrecognizable as the same author.
F you don't mind a verbose author (in my opinion she couldshould have cut at least 50 pages of snark, innuendo and sarcasm) then this seems to be the author for you.If you like the Arly Hanks series don't expect this one to be similar.
