I actually liked the mystery is this book a great deal, and was fascinated by the characters. I would have given it 3 stars if it were not for one thing…
A young woman character is date-raped, and the man gets away with it. He is never confronted with his crime. Her life is basically ruined, and he goes tripping along without a care in the world.

 This made me so angry I could spit!!! The whole subject was handled very badly, and it made me sick to read about it. It also served no purpose whatsoever in the plot. It was just added for extra drama, and was completely unnecessary.
