Blind Tiger

I've read six of Sandra Brown's novels and Blind Tiger has been my least favourite. I found the first half of the book VERY slow. I kept reading, hoping it would get better, but I struggled to connect with the characters and the plot wasn't intriguing enough to make me want to keep turning the pages. Halfway through I put it down for a week. If it were a library book I would've returned it, but I bought the book so I made myself finish it. The moonshining plot was pretty flat, had lots of different tentacles but not much depth. There wasn't a big question that I needed to have answered by the end. Everything seemed to follow an inevitable course and I didn't feel much tension. There were a lot of characters to keep track of, and I didn't connect to them. And Thatcher not telling Laurel where he was going at the end, sorry, but how long does it take to send a telegram...
Yeah, I've loved some of Sandra Brown's books, but not Blind Tiger I'm afraid...
