The author's inaccurate research, preaching and moralizing, (the very thing she accuses people of faith of doing--funny how that works), and a so-so plot meant this should have been a 50-page novella. This book has been on my hard drive for nearly 13 years. If it were sentient, the drive would feel great relief in the book's deletion. I know I do.

The latest in the Kat Colorado series [2019: a series that mysteriously stopped with no explanation--where did you go, Karen Kijewski?]--very good, amusing and effective-- it really made me rather nervous. There are two different investigations going on here: the first is a murder investigation of a young woman--the police are all claiming it was a simple hit-and-run and the young woman belongs to the Mormons--and the Mormons and particularly the religion and its treatment of women are the big bad guys here. The other is that it looks like Hank, Kat's boyfriend, is having an affair and is allowing a serial-murder case to obsess him too much, and its playing havoc on Kat and her emotional life. For once, no pretty ending.
