A review by afwyt
The Dead Hour by Denise Mina

3.0

*3.5 stars.
The last page of this book made me incredibly annoyed. Paddy is independent, vulnerable, intelligent and empowering and then the book ends with such a dumb ending that is so completely out of character for her. I didn't catch on to the subtle hints for the last few chapters, unfortunately. Actually, it's a good thing I didn't because I really enjoyed this story up until the last page. GAH! There is nothing worse than a stupid ending. I really would have given this 4 stars otherwise. Right away, you pretty much figure out what's going on, but it's the process of catching the bad guy and the story that goes along with it, that keeps you reading.
