Query: Faye Kellerman lost her touch with this one.

I was disappointed in this book, and even more so after having waited anxiously for the book's August 2000 release. I was first in line so I could read yet another episode in the lives of the Decker family. However, this book was just not nearly as interesting and/or entertaining as her others. In fact, I found myself extremely bored with the plot and the characters. The characters were unbelieveable and they possessed little depth and substance. The story dragged as it winded endlessly around and around telling a tale that never took off. This was the first time, since I started reading a Kellerman novel, that I was not even a little bit sad to see the story end. Let's hope the next one is better! I won't jump ship just yet!
