Once I reach a point in the plot where the correct or easy choice is apparent and the main character doesn’t take that route, I lose interest and am basically just hate reading the rest of the book. The writing wasn’t bad, save for Jemma being pitiful behind that family of uppity negroes when she didn’t have to be. The mystery was good. The Duchons were terrible. So sorry they didn’t suffer more. Jemma’s better than me.
