I don't know if I got a crappy copy or what, but it was full of typos and other mistakes. It seemed like the author just gave up on any sort of proof reading after page 90.
Anyway, that's not why the 2 stars. The dialog was confusing, hard to follow, and just basically abnormal for a forensic pathologist. New characters were introduced way late in the story. There were only 169 pages and they were spaced out like a children's book. At normal type, this would have been little more than a short story.
I wanted to quit long before the end, I just didn't care about any of the characters. I only finished so I could write this review.
I doubt I'll read any more Patrick Logan.
Not bad. I'd really go 3.5 if I could. Better than most 3's I've read but not as much as the 4's.
It felt a bit like a script for Magnum PI or Perry Mason. Multiple attempts on her life and she miraculously survives them all. Eh, a little hard to take.
For book written in 2006, the references to a phone book and an answering machine seemed dated.
The main character. Gabby, was fun and relatable. I'll read then next in the series, just not yet.
I only read this because of the unending cliffhanger that was “Flawed”.
Where Flawed was plausible and interesting, “Perfect” was unbelievable and annoying. I felt like I was reading a Scoopy-Doo script. One ridiculous predicament after another and miraculously saved. The author felt the need to assume the reader wasn't paying attention, and reiterated the obvious over and over.....maybe if I were 14 it would have been necessary. Of course, we have a happily-ever-after ending too.
There were so many nonsense or unrealistic events that I was convinced there would be a big ending...like the kid really died and Elizabeth was dreaming in a coma the whole time. Then add the writers bias against the second amendment and his over-the-top female bias and it was just too much. I actually listened to the audiobook. Had I read it myself, I wouldn't have finished it. It wasn't worth my effort.
Skip this and find yourself a better book, you'll thank me.
