Query: Good Effort but Disappointing

I found this novel to be predictable and disappointing. Basically, I think it was a good attempt at writing an interesting read but it fell flat with character and plot development. The repetitive "damsel in distress" scenario did get rather tiring.Overall, I kept thinking it was a slightly more adult version of the Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew. These are good models upon which to write but not for an adult audience. I did not realize this was part of a series (as another review said was the case) and this is a compliment to the stand alone nature of this installment. However, I won't be reading the others in the series.
