Query: Predictable police procedural...

Did I read the same book as the other readers here?This is a very predicatable police procedural with a same-old, same-old plot.The characters are not sympathetic and full of both racial and ethnic stereotypes.The heroine particularly is short of a full deck. This book is more D.O.A. than Dead Certain.Sara Paretsky, Ruth Rendell, and other women who write GOOD cop/mystery books shouldn't fear this second rate effort. Pass.
