Query: Uggghhhh...

What a bunch of drivel...the main character couldn't have a drier, more uninteresting personality if she were a soda cracker! Beyond being totally predictable as a mystery, the rude, dismissive, and completely cold and colorless attitudes of the two "siblings" made this book almost unreadable. Why should the reader care about anything in this book when the humorless main character barely can bring herself to care acout anything but herself? The characters in this book, with the possible exception of the policeman, are ridiculously flat and self absorbed. I've never felt the need to write a review before, but I couldn't let go of the irritation that felt reading this. The most irritating thing about it is that it could have been executed so much better by an author who even pretended to appreciate her readers by inserting even an ounce of personality into her characters. I felt like I needed to wash the dust off my hands after reading this formulaic and shallow piece of...work.
