2.0

So, this captured my attention like a CSI episode, but there was a lot of ridiculousness that easily could have been fact checked. Loose lips sink ships and I find it hard to believe that everyone in the town knew about the upcoming DEA meth bust before it happened. Then, at the scene, the local cops are just tromping around when it isn't their case, the Feds are there and no one is wearing CLAN LAB gear? Oh, they did that in the woods. Meth is dirty and they would be wearing gear. Also she tried to fit in way way too many crimes that were all neatly tied up by the end. I have enjoyed CSI and enjoyed this in the same way, but really. I didn't really love the main character. If she is going to be a cop, could she at least be good at handling her weapon and not get it taken away from her so many times? Her investigation was good, but maybe she should stick behind a desk or seek out some self defense classes. Also, the friendship with Missy was lame. The lady hated her, resented her and now because the cop went along with her to rescue her baby but in the process convicted her father they are best buddies. I don't think it works that way. Also, Boston is cold. Sometimes Boston is Maine cold. The author acted like she moved from California. Meh 2.5 stars
