Boring, tedious, uninteresting. 1/4 of the way through this book and I was ready to stop. But I told myself keep going. I wish I hadn't. Where was the story? It was so slow, it just dragged on and on. And I felt no sympathy for the main character, nor did I have any interest in any of the others around her. Plus, if I want religion in my book, I'll buy it for that. I read mysteries for the suspense, to be diverted, to be entertained. This one...not worth it for me at least. (
