However, the reason it's not rated higher is because this book focused so much on the love triangle and less on the mystery. The reason I loved AGGGTM so much was because it focused solely on the mystery with sprinkles of family, friendship, and romance. In The Naturals, it isn't until part 3 before things really start kicking off with the killer, which is 200 pages in.
I'm hopeful that now that we have background on everyone, that the next books in the series will focus more on the mystery aspects. I'm curious to find out if Barnes planned it out so that the love triangle drama threw readers off.
Now excuse me, I have to go start watching Criminal Minds all over again.
