Still Life by Dani Pettrey

Here is my latest review for Bethany House Publishers:

Still Life / Dani Pettrey

  This book had a lot of potential, I wanted to love it, but the truth is it didn't enthrall me as much as I wanted. I think the problem was there were too many characters to keep track of -several sets of cops, several people involved in the crimes- I wasn't able to keep them all straight. Also,  none of the cops really stood out to me with a lot of personality.
  The plot about the refugees also bored me a bit, I didn't think it was necessary to focus on that. Honestly, I skipped over the pages when it came to that.
 On the plus side, the crime involving the missing girl from the photograph was pretty interesting. But on the negative side, it seemed to drag out a bit too long.
  So? My final grade is a C. I'm hoping the future books stick to one pair of cops to focus on, and one crime at a time.
