Forgive Me by Daniel Palmer
3.0
Angie DeRose wound up in the private investigation business due to the disappearance of her best friend while still young. She works a lot of missing children in her job. Her most recent one is 16 year old runaway Nadine who is disgusted with her alcoholic mother. In addition, Angie finds a mysterious photo of a sad child with a deformed ear with mysterious writing on the back in her late mother's writing, including "God forgive me". So you're given three mysteries in one very large book.
I wanted to like this. I really did. I might have bought it by mistake (sticker on author's name had me thinking it was someone else), but it looked interesting and started well. The writing is good, the characters sorta interesting, but it just never grabbed me. In fact, I got very bored. Too much jumping about, too many mysteries, too much description, and the last few chapters almost had me bailing. I really think the editing should've been tighter. Less can definitely be more.
Lots of bad guys (some of whom were a little too obvious). A sorta romance. But overall, just too much crammed into one very fat book. I would say disappointing. 3 out of 5
