My raiting ~ 4 bites

Patrick Diehlman, distraught husband of Jenny, goes to the police station to file a missing person’s report and ends up at Detective Jo Larsen’s desk. Well, there’s not a lot of officers to choose from in the small town of Plainfield, Texas, and since her partner Hank wasn’t in yet, Jo it is. So, Jenny has only been missing since the evening before and reports for adults usually don’t get filed for 48 hrs, but Jo’s not busy and Patrick is so insistent that she decides to go ahead and get started on finding either a person who is missing due to something bad happening or because she just wants to be gone. Jo doesn’t have enough info yet to make that determination. But as she delves into Jenny’s life Jo finds a woman drowning in sorrow, someone who may have done harm to herself. And when they find the body, that’s what it looks like. Except…Jo’s not convinced. And the story is off and running.

This is a really great mystery and I would have given it 5 bites except Jo is a bit unlikeable. I mean, I really hate a character who has people telling her to do something, something she KNOWS she needs to do and yet…she doesn’t. It’s irritating as fuck. This is something that has been going on for years. Omg, shit or get off the pot already. For fuck’s sake. *sigh* Anyway, I really did enjoy the story otherwise. The addition of Jenny’s diary entries at the beginning of every chapter is something I particularly enjoyed.
