Lovely setting. Annoying characters. Long drawn out plot with unsatisfactory ending. Too much moral ambivalence.

The most important - and perhaps easiest - task a mystery novel has is to make its reader feel emotionally invested in the drama. This book could not so.

I almost shelved this book as a DNF- but I gave a hard time doing it. I will not be continuing this series- I gave the author a second chance by reading this one and she failed.
Characters were weak, especially hated Oliver the moocher. Rain and Oliver should not be together. Rain isn’t much of an investigative reporter and the detectives were made out to be drivelling idiots. Unbelievably poor plot with who committed the murder, even the author knew it was trash so tried to save it by bringing in drugs- total failure.
Will not be reading another book from this author ever.
