Query: Nowhere near "A Skeleton in God's Closet"

I loved the book A Skeleton in God's Closet, the novel to which this is a sequel of sorts. I read the last 200 pages in one sitting; it was that gripping. When I heard there was a sequel, I got excited. Big mistake. This novel is subpar, and contains some of the most awkward, clunky prose I've ever read. Honestly, I couldn't get through it. I gave up. Most of the complaints I have are similar to the ones listed in other reviews, but I will reiterate: none of the characters seemed like real people, especially when they opened their mouths. Maier aims for hip, semi-humorous dialogue, but it falls flat with too many "darlings" and "no problemas". Maybe, just maybe, some of the dialogue would have worked on screen, but in a novel moments where the characters joke with each other by taking on accents they don't normally have don't work. Everyone got to be so annoying that I just gave up. There are tons better books for you to read. Don't waste your time here.
