Summary: AM I MISSING SOMETHING!?!?!?!?!??!?!
Comment: My book club read this recently and all but one of us were left thinking....huh? At the end.
This was not a good book,why?
Withought spoiling anything:
-Only 180pages
-NO, I mean ZERO mystery. None. You know what's what in the first 10 pages
-No character development. We don't know much about who they are or why they behave the way they do
-Paints men as dumb and sex obsessed. (Okay maybe some are, but this was a bit extreme). The characters in general were one-dimentional and boring.
-Bad dialogue. If this were a movie, you wouldn't watch it. Worse than a soap, CTFrench obviously didn't talk to ANY black people before she wrote the dialogue for her black characters.
Overall, CTF had a good idea but totally wack development. I only finished it because I kept waiting for a shoe to drop, it never did.
Don't waste your time or money.

Summary: Loved it in New York!
Comment: This book has been making the rounds in my office building and has become a popular book here. I've seen remarks from other reviewers that it reminds them of a "Law and Order" script, and I agree to the point that the story moves quickly, the characters are depicted well, and the dialogue real. This falls more into the category of thriller - the killer is revealed early in the book and the story focuses more on the investigation - which I like. I also like the Southern locale and dialogue.
Since so many have given brief descriptions of the book, I will stay away from that, but suffice to say that this is one heck of an entertaining book that has my colleagues talking.
The author writes succinctly with a subtle sense of humor and reveals characters who are flawed enough to be interesting. Not the robotic characters I've seen in other books. Great job.
