The author does a great job with this, but gets bogged down in redundant details of the crime which completely interrupts the flow of the story. Overall, though, really good. A couple of parts had me laughing hysterically. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/805197?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
