I originally started following this series in spite of a few weaknesses because I liked the way the author centered the character in a strong family. I also liked the possible love interest, Grant.
Then the author started a love triangle and the writing continued to be overly descriptive and bloated, but still I thought I'd give it one more go.
I almost DNF'd this one because the writing was 80% non-essential, non-interesting information. But I really wanted to find out what was going to happen with Grant, because the love triangle looked over at the end of book 2. So I decided to skim this one and by that I mean unless there was dialogue, I didn't read it. I was skipping pages at a time.
And still, I knew who the murderer was before the book was half over. And then the author brought the love triangle back. And now I'm done. NEXT!!!
