Query: Didn't grab me.

I bought a later book in this seres (Crime School) so I decided to start from the beginning by reading the book that started it all.I had to "make myself" read this book. I have to agree with the other reveiwers that didn't like the main character. There is nothing to like about her. She's unaproachable and several times you are told she "smirks" or "smiles" but it isn't meant in a friendly manner. The other characters are just "ok" and the plot is a little on the boring side in that the action doesn't move quickly.This being the first book in the series, I'm not ready to give up on Mallory yet. I'll read the rest with that hopes that this first one is just the warm up and the characters will grow with each book. The only positive thing about being dissapointed in this is that there is a lot of room for improvement and I look forward to seeing in the books to come.
