My only critique is that some of the dialogue was hard to read due to the way the conversations were written going on the same line, rather than separate lines per character ( )

The formatting wasn't good. I had no idea who was speaking & I had to re-read the sentences several times to figure it out. Too much work, plus the story wasn't engaging, DNF'd at 35%

Fairly light book, easy to read and quite short. Nothing terribly exciting and a little predictable with quite stereotyped characters. ( )

Monona "Mo" Quinn edits the local paper in a suburb of Madison in Dane County, Wisconsin. She has the reputation of being a real "Nancy Drew." Unfortunately this book was just not believable. I find it difficult to believe that a sheriff in such a large county would be as inept as the one depicted in this novel. The characters weren't very likeable to me, and I found myself not really caring about the novel. Once a true motive for the murder was uncovered, it wasn't difficult to figure out who committed the crime. I can live without reading future installments of this series. ***SPOILER ALERT: There are some coverup elements in this story that are too near the recent scandal involving Jerry Sandusky and the Penn State team for my tastes.*** ( )
