Query: Iles can do better

This novel requires that the readers suspend disbelief. I was appalled at the "romance" between a middle-aged physician and a 17-year old girl and, additionally, the coy interaction between the baby-sitter and main character. I can't believe I finished it, although the legal wrangling was often interesting. I think there was not enough effort made to make the characters believable - the main character's girlfriend was nothing short of sleazy, which is perhaps an apt description of much of this book. I hope that Iles has done and can do better. Somehow I can't see myself reading another one of his books until the memory of this one fades.
