\"Miss<\/a>This has the bones of a good story.<\/p>\n

However, the editing was poor enough that paragraphs seemed out of order, and there were continuity errors.<\/p>\n

And I am pretty sure the police didn’t have grounds for arrests, which made that part of the story problematic.<\/p>\n

Additionally, I didn’t buy the end of the book. Reconciliations are good and important, but sometimes they are not believable.<\/p>\n
