Just the Nicest Couple

This book had boring characters and a boring storyline. I've loved Kubica's previous books but this one did not hold my interest. The two women in this story are high school teachers at the same school. They could've been interesting but alas they were not. It also felt like a lot of telling and not enough showing -which gets tedious to read.

I even figured out who the baddie was well before I was supposed to. I felt like I had seen a very similar storyline on The Closer years ago. Even the ending was missing some explanations- it kind of just jumped from that main important revelation to the resolution. Normally, I thoroughly enjoy Kubica's writing and especially her deep character building, but this one felt really slow. It was a miss for me.
