Query: Can you make it to the end? NOT a pageturner!

I am a big fan of thriller and mysteries, but I found Kay Hooper's writing to be the most incompetent I have ever read in this genre. Not only does she not create characters you want to read about, but she makes you not care what happens to them. Hooper's plodding writing style, poor plot development and dull dialogue makes this one a difficult read. I got to about page 246 and did not care enough to make it through the ending. Purely one for the wastebasket. Dullsville. I will add Kay Hooper to my "not to read" list. Live and learn!
