Exit Wounds: A Brady Novel of Suspense

All in all, not a bad book, but not the greatest either. The beginning quarter of the book kind of gave me a sour taste, but the last half seemed much better. It had a little too much family drama for my tastes. The whole thing about being pregnant and running for re-election, the fights with her mother over it and stuff was just about enough to turn me off from the book. Luckily, the mystery part of the book was pretty strong and kept me interested. I would put this story closer to 3.5 stars than three, but not strong enough for four. This was my first Joanna Brady novel, and second J.A. Jance novel. Both of the ones I've read had some great parts to the story, with some very annoying sidestory parts. I've got one more Jance novel on my shelf to read, but if it's similar to these two I don't think I'll be going out of my way to track any more down unless heavily discounted/free. They just don't quite sit right with me. I don't know if it's a gender thing, or possibly growing up and working with people in law enforcement, but there were parts in both novels that I had a hard time comprehending viewpoints. The eBook was formatted fine with no obvious spelling or grammatical errors.

Dysfunctional families, including sexual abuse and children being treated as pawns. Plural marriages and murder.

Very good
