The Coast-to-Coast Murders

Enjoyed it as a thriller, had no idea where it was going for most of the last third. I could se myself re-reading it in the future to figure it out again.

I absolutely hated that when we switched to the sister's POV, its a sexualised description of her naked body almost the first thing. She finds out her brother's being framed for murder and “tweaks her nipples” for no reason. It makes me a little upset just thinking about it. There was no narrative reason for her to be naked, even less reason to do the nipple thing and it just read like the authors wanted you to know the character was attractive. Which we find out over the course of the book when she flirts with men to get things she needs, so we didn't even need the reveal.

I liked the plot, and would have gone on to read more from the author but if there's more of the same in his books I think I'll skip.
