It was extremely repetitive and rather boring at times. The author used the same ploys over and over again. Other than the main character Jay Erlich, all the others were plainly unlikable and contrary. They'd say one thing and then immediately do the opposite. It was just confusing and irritating. And I just couldn't understand the attitude of the police throughout the entire book. Jay was determined to help his brother but being a doctor was entirely clueless when it came to investigating which is probably what made this such a difficult book to stay connected to.

I'm a reader not a blogger so this could prove to be interesting.
I read mostly mystery, paranormal, fantasy and romance but I've been known to give almost anything a try except biographies and non-fiction unless forced.
