All of the back story was boring. It did nothing to advance the plot. all it did was detract from the plot. I expected more crime solving. it was very weak in this regard. I'm glad I got this from Overdrive as I would have felt ripped out had I bought it. I was thinking of stopping it, but given that by the time I decided to stop, I was about 1/2 in and it wasn't that much more to go I decided to finish it.
Next time we get a specific category (PCML doesn't count as it's not specific at all), let's make sure whatever books are nominated truly fit the category and not sort or fit. This book barely fit the mystery category. It was just way too weak.
