I so agree. Having read that and another of her books, I'm
off her completely. If you want more mediocre writing, try
Linda LaPlante who wrote Prime Suspect. I really liked the
BBC series with Helen Mirren (did ya see The Long Good
Friday?) and I got three LaPlante books and all became
wall-bangers. Sometimes bad writing can't spoil a good story
and good writing can have no story but LaPlante is piffle
drivel. Just bad, bad, bad. So bad, that if you put it down
and come back to it you've already lost interest and can't
remember what's already happened.
