I never abandon books. Especially suspense-type books. I always think optimistically that the author will manage a socko ending that will make me forgive any and all flaws along the way.
In this one, the plot problem with the police wasn't apparent till quite late, and the author didn't address it in an even remotely believable fashion.
I think this was the author's first book, and I would possibly try her next if the setup appealed to me. (But only as a library book.) The narrator is also apparently new-ish; Audible lists her for only one other title. This book would probably have been helped by a better narrator, but the main problem was the writing.
Oh well. On to the next book!
