Query: Such a shame that this wwas ever published

I have been a fan of Tess Gerritson for a long while and have enjoyed many of her novels over the years (except that awful one set in England where neither the plot nor the characters worked). I really looked forward to reading this latest offering but I am now exceedingly annoyed at having spent a reasonable amount of money on a complete piece of rubbish! The plot was so predictable that all which subsequently occurred was obvious by the end of the second chapter and the writing was so appalling that I had to skim a good proportion of it. I seriously doubt if Ms Gerritson actually wrote this..if she is sub-contracting she needs to find a better writer to do it in her name.
