Query: Not what I expected.

I love "sister sleuth" fiction so I couldn't wait to get this book. After reading this book, I should have waited to borrow it from the library. I think the main character Alex Powell was a good character but the overall story just didn't have enough "kick" to it to make a good mystery. The story was so bad that to this day I don't remember who killed Alex's friend Ev. If this is the beginning of a new mystery series, this is a poor start.
