Query: Just couldn't sink my teeth into this one

Boy, almost all the characters in this book were shallow, manipulative and depressing. Unfortunately, the main character seemed just as shallow for awhile because very little about her is revealed until at least the half way point. A little more character development early on probably would have helped increase my interest in her and her troubles. Not real suspenseful, but characters with juicy secrets run rampant in this book. The story itself flows pretty well, so if you want a political/legal mystery, this will probably be entertaining for you. Just not quite my cup of tea. For those interested: there is some mild sexual content, occasional profanity and violence.
