I’m working on getting a bit more into Goodreads, a website that lets you review books and then share those reviews with others. There’s a feature that lets you post your reviews to your blogs. I’m testing that out right now. See how it goes.

My review
rating: 3 of 5 stars
Interesting book. I’m not sure how much of it I missed since it seems to be one of a series, and I’m not up to date on the series. However, I enjoyed the way the plot developed and unfolded in a fairly realistic manner. In so many police procedurals, the main character is the focal point of the entire investigation, present for every step of the way. Not so in this one–the main character sometimes misses out on important scenes and has to catch up on what happened. In any case, I liked that it was different in that manner, even if the actual plotting didn’t captivate me as much as I’d prefer.
