Query: Fails the Test

An embarrassment for all concerned. The most intriguing aspect of the book was trying to figure out if the book was simply "payback" for events that were occurring in the author's private life. The idolized female police captain (whose wardrobe seems to have been the largest factor commanding respect and devotion from her staff) suffers a petty, overweight husband lacking any redeeming qualities. Oh, and he manages to contract flesh-eating disease on his butt. This was the high-point. Fascinating in the way a car crash is riveting. Truly awful
