Query: A disappointment

Save your hard earned cash. This book was a disappointment from page one. I admit, I did find the story line to be intriguing, but the characters were poorly written. Bess was uninteresting, and time and time again I thought if I were there, I'd wring her neck. The only reason I didn't give this one star is that I did become a little interested in the end and actually finished the bok. I can't tell how many times I put it down with no intention of finishing it. I'm glad I waited for the paperback.
