This book is like taking a trolley tour in Savannah, if the trolley driver has a huge chip on his shoulder. Of course there is corruption, crime, homelessness, and dark spots in the city’s history. However, the author acts as if this is an anomaly and not present in every other city in the country. The characters, the description of the city, the way he painted everything, was so exaggerated that it created a laughable caricature of Savannah that made this book very difficult to finish. Honestly, Michael Scott painted a better picture of Savannah with his murder mystery episode then this author did throughout the entire book. The story itself caught my interest for the first chapter, and I excused the horrible writing style because I wanted to find out what happened. As I got to know the characters and as the story progressed, what little interest I had quickly deteriorated. There were so many plot holes and the ending was atrocious. This was probably one of the worst books I’ve ever completed.
