Too Many Characters, but Interesting Story
4 stars
Fina Ludlow, the main character, is a PI in a family of
men. First off, this girl is certainly
not a role model for anyone. She’s a
junk-food addict. How can you survive
that way and have a body to-die-for? The
condo she got from her grandmother is a pigsty and she lives there
rent-free. This isn’t realistic in
today’s society.
Fina is tough, as you can imagine a PI should be, and like
any male counterpart, she drinks and cusses and isn’t afraid to kick-ass if
necessary to get the information she wants.
However, this girl usually seeks out men that she’s slept with, or ones
she wants to sleep with to get answers to her questions.
She works for her father’s law firm, which also employs her
brothers as lawyers. This story has an
excessive amount of characters in it.
The author introduces them in the first part of the book. It was very hard for me to read the first
fifty or sixty pages and keep all these people straight. After that, the story finally settled down a
bit and I was able to follow it better.
I think the author would benefit by having a character list in the front
of the book that the reader can refer to when necessary.
Ms. Ludlow constantly complains about her family, her mother
in particular, and it’s hard for her to get any answers out of her dad or
brothers, for her murder investigation, because she’s female and they don’t
want to share any of their secrets with her.
If you can get past all this, this is an interesting story,
even of it is a bit predictable.
