The Last Ferry Out by Andrea Bartz
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

This bait and switch is awful. It’s described as a twisty thriller and was on my library’s Mystery and Thriller list. There is no mystery and it’s not thrilling. It’s pretty much just a lesbian love story. Eszter (small pretty blonde) dies on a remote Mexican Island, and her fiancee Abby (tall muscular with a fade) goes there to find out what happened. Abby is paranoid and overreacts, misinterprets everything, and suspects everyone. Most of the book is spent talking about how beautiful Abby thinks Eszter was and their courtship and relationships with their parents and how much Eszter loved her muscles and height. I have no beef with lesbian love stories, I just don’t want to read one, especially when I’m expecting a mystery. It’s not even well-written and the title is misleading. I forced myself to finish it since I had nothing else handy – I’d read the last of my book club selections and all my holds at the library were taking forever to come in. One finally did. I’m going there now.
