Query: A mess

More people loved this book than hated it, as I did, so I'm obviously going against the tide, but it was a mess. Multiple murders, multiple murderers, multiple lapses of ethics and morals by people who shouldn't be having such lapses, i.e. a priest, a sheriff and an ex-sheriff (Cork). A 16 year old who gets a pass on murder. What's not to like here! By the time I finished and I had to push myself to finish I wondered like Peggy Lee, "is this all there is?"If you have a bad eating experience in a new restaurant you are disinclined to return. Ditto about an author. I'm not inclined to read another. For good writing and plotting try Joseph Heywood and Ridley Pearson.
