3.0

I bought this book without really paying much attention to what it was about. I like the author's other books so I assumed I would like this one as well. I was wrong. I couldn't get past the main character's initial assumptions about her life before adoption. As an adult she's a finger print analyst so she's used to looking at details, so of course part of her characterization is noticing details about her settings --details that I didn't care to read about. I kept reading, hoping that it would all click together. It never did.

In the end, I had a hard time rating this book. If I had properly vetted it when I picked it up, I would have never bought it.
