Very simply not well thought out. Our “hero: is just plain dumb as are most of the other characters. They have no complexity. None of them appear to be really good people, except the daughter that is painted as a too perfect child, making her unbelievable. No way a kid who’s father spent too much time at work and had a mother leaving her father for a younger hot guy doesn’t have daddy issues and hate her mother. The author also states the obvious over and over. To point you are left say “well…duh”, over and over.Ther is no justice or reward for just doing the right thing. all the characters problems are of their own making. I bought the boxed set and couldn’t make it past the beginning of the second one before I was so frustrated with ignorant dribble, I had to find something else. vigilantly acts make our lead as evil as the bad guy. He and his cop friend both deserve to go to prison. Skip this one…it’s a waste of money.
