The Final Victim

The Final Victim by Wendy Corsi Staub


My review
rating: 3 of 5 stars
Even though I had the bad guy figured out by page 100, I kept reading to find out the "why". I didn't get emotionally attached to the central character - she was supposed to be a smart woman but, man!, was she dumb! I really liked the daughter's character. Plot was so-so. To me it was see-through. I thought the character Aunt Jeanne could have been played out better.
