Cold Case Double Cross

2.5 stars

Interesting plot, but the characterization details really bogged me down. It's a small town but the guys are all lechers except the hero, and the heroine is constantly getting offended over “male chauvinism” and making the hero stand aside to let her change her tire alone, etc. It would have been nice to see the hero obsess less over his disability (if dyslexia can be termed that...I've never viewed it as a disability but he sure does) and also for Mae to spend a bit more time on-page with her one good relative, her grandmother. Mae hates her dad for him saying women shouldn't be police and in the way of danger, among other things...the constant heavy handed man-hating got severely in the way of the story and of the likability of Mae at all.
