Summary: 1 Stars
I got this book free for my kindle and it was worth it. Karen is a woman with caramel, honey, auburn hair and hardened ,sharp brown, hazel eyes who lives in a fancy Greenwich house with two teen-age kids who fight over a shared bathroom. When her husband is supposedly killed in a bomb blast ,and nothing is found but his briefcase handle, she has no problem getting a death certificate and collecting 4 million dollars. When she meets detective Houck he has his 10 year old daughter on his shoulders. Two months later the daughter is thirteen and too stupid to flip a burning pancake.Houck falls asleep watching a house and when he wakes it's light so he gets his flashlight to do some B & E. The suspect is an ex-cop and professional security alarm installer but Houck has no trouble finding the breaker on a bush. Fortunately there is no battery back-up on the alarm system and he has no trouble running the computer and printer without electricity. And LORDY! all the physical side effects of the emotions! Eyes screw, drill, snap to the page like a magnet (shades of wiley coyote). Heads explode. hearts crash, blood explodes out of the veins, legs turn to jelly. guts feel like they've had a wire dragged through them, arm hairs tingle and stand on edge. One more "wink" from either a bad guy or good guy and I would have bounced the kindle off the wall. Any high school kid, with a proper outline and time-line, could have done a better job.
