I like the mystery aspect of this book, but I kinda had it all figured out before I was even half way through the book. Which made it a hard read. I mean, what's the fun in reading a mystery novel when you know who the killer is? 
 I was a bit iffy on the heroine. She felt a little...too self-important. I couldn't connect with her. I also didn't like the role her ex had in the book. Made things just a little too messy. 
 I did like the hero of this story, and think his role was too small. He was more of a supporting character than a main character. I want to give this book a 4/5, but it's small things throughout the chapters that kept nagging at me, so I'm sticking to a 3/5. 
 In case the 2nd book in the series is just as messy and jungle-like, I'm gonna take a break and read something else before attacking it.
