Irreparable Harm by Melissa F. Miller
1.0
I don't know, I felt like reading a magazine. Like when JK Rowling became Robert Galbraith. I wanted to yell "this is not your field of work" the whole time. I don't mean to be mean towards the author, but with all descriptions of clothes, jewelry, and sandwich ingredients, I might have enjoyed a cookbook better.
This was a very plot-driven novel and I felt like I didn't get to know the characters at all. Well, except for their fashion choices and the fact that they like sushi more than cinnamon rolls.
There were some really strange jumps from the important case to the tattoo a replacement secretary was getting, and it had no importance to the story at all. So I was very confused with this part.
I also didn't appreciate having a tragic story that has NO importance for ANYTHING - not the character and not the plot. Why kill someone's family member when it will bring no value to the table. Well, it might have been important if we actually got to meet the characters a little.
The story was okay, I guess. Nothing special, but not all that bad either. It was fast and easy to read, but nothing memorable.
The bad guy was revealed waaaaaay to early and there was no suspense. I never gasped or opened my eyes a bit wider or anything that you would normally associate with a good thriller that has you on the edge of your seat.
It was just a little less than "meh".
