I'd read this before but had forgotten it. The characters are not smart and the plot stretches credulity. You can recognize Buchanan's talent, but this is NOT her best effort. ( )

This is the first Edna Buchanan book I have ever read and this read kept me reading. I really did enjoy it, I couldn't put it down. I will read another one of her books to see how it turns out. ( )
