Lock Me In by Kate Simants -- 3 stars
HarperCollins
ISBN: 9780008353292
The description of this book
and reviews by readers saying it had a complex fast moving plot made me excited
to read it. I was somewhat disappointed. I didn’t hate it but sometimes I
struggled to continue reading. While the plot was unique and intriguing, it
became so complex that it was cumbersome and this slowed the action
unnecessarily.
The personal issues Detective Mae
had with his ex-wife and daughter added nothing to the story and was one reason
it often dragged.
The conclusion was interesting,
but some explanations of occurrences and actions by the characters were
unrealistic making it forced. I realize this is fiction but in mystery books I
have to believe that things could actually happen. This wasn’t a bad book. It
just wasn’t as enjoyable as I’d hoped.
