The heroine, "Ava's analytical mind...a member of the Kenner County Crime Unit...her job was to recognize the importance of even the most minute detail...when investigating..." was deeply stupid. I wanted to slap her.

This review is from: An Unexpected Clue (Harlequin Larger Print Intrigue) (Mass Market Paperback)

The writer tells the continuing story just fine. The bad guys are bad; friends are loyal. But the heroine. Yikes! Ava Parrish is married to Ben,the FBI agent who disappeared in Pulling the Trigger. This man has been kidnapped and tortured and is trying to protect her life, yet she can only focus on the "lies" he has told. She ignores his attempts to keep her safe. She runs, accuses him of running out on her, and was so wishy-washy as to be unlikeable. I found myself yelling at her. Not a good sign. - As I said, the book continues and finished the storyline. So you want to read it. But the frustration...
