Query: What a disappointment!

This is the third David Ellis book and, in my opinion, it is far more uneven than the first two. A child's advocate is drawn into a criminal case when a student she had previously represented in a misdemeanor case is accused of killing a police officer. The book twists and turns but in ways that are totally absurd. Does she find out the identity of the child she gave aware after becoming pregnant as a teenager? Well, you think so but then she's wrong. Does one of the facts that she and a private investigator reenact when they visit the crime scene turn out to be a critical clue? Well, it seems that they forget what they discussed in an alley. Do the references and inclusion of characters and events from the first book add anything to this story? In my opinion, no. I think he is a very capable writer but none of his three books has lived up to his abilities. If he ever puts everything together, he could rise to the top of the heap.
