Hopefully this improves. Slaughter killed off a character almost immediately & then goes back in time to spend pages on this person trying to get the reader to care about her death. It’s sloppy. Also I don’t believe this collection of druggies and social misfits could successfully manage this lodge. The place and people running it sound like a nightmare.

This nature lodge where they are honeymooning sounds like hell. Assigned group activities? A schedule? Group meals? No thank you. Nothing about this place sounds romantic. I like nature and all but the family and the whole setup is weird and micromanaged.

Slaughter starts the book after the murder has been committed and is working backwards. I always HATE that kind of a plot set up. I don't like being dropped in the middle. At any rate, it's good to be back in the Will Trent world although I wish she would go back to Angie and resolve that crazy stuff. Angie is horrible, but she made the books more fun.
