Blind Retribution

by K. T. Roberts

It should have been an open-and-shut case. When a car bomb explodes, taking with it the wife of a prominent heart surgeon, NYPD detective Maxine Turner is sure she has arrested the right suspect—until Cory Rossini, a private investigator, begins muddying the waters. Max already has enough to deal with: her longtime partner is retiring, her latest case is suddenly anything but simple, and she now has a troubling attraction to a man who is proving to be annoyingly persistent.

Having taken on the task of proving his friend’s innocence, Cory isn’t about to drop the ball—no matter how distractingly beautiful he finds the detective assigned to the investigation. When his sleuthing turns up other homicides connected to the cardiology department, including a young woman whose throat has been slit, he convinces Max that they should work together. And as they delve further into the vicious murders, they search for the one lead that will steer them straight to a killer…

DNF. Ugh, I'm kind of pissed I bought this book. Maybe it's because I've been reading at love of In Death lately, but I have higher standards for my procedural mystery books. I'm quitting at 25% and that's with the detective already thinking she has her man. Her approach - from gathering evidence, to questioning witnesses, to thinking about the case is just sub-par. I would hate to have to trust her in an investigation. Reading this reminds me of why I was hesitant to pick up the In Death books - because so many procedurals are just boring to me. This is. And the best part, the way it starts, I'm pretty confident who did it, so I don't even need to read on to figure it out.

If the conversations and characters were better I might feel a desire to continue, but to me everything is flat, stereotypical and uninteresting :(
