Threads of Suspicion by Dee Henderson

My latest review for Bethany House Books is Threads of Suspicion by Dee Henderson

  There was a lot of potential to this book being really great. It starts with a team of P.I.'s looking into cold cases, it then follows one pair as they solve the mystery of who killed a local college girl. The problem is the book gets so bogged down in the details of the murder and the questioning of the witnesses that it becomes tediously long. Chapters run from 15 to 20 minutes a piece and you have to plow through 25 chapters so it's a very time consuming read with not a lot of action. It would have been a great read if it had been pared down to about half the size. Also, the addition of her partner's case only comes in bits and spurts and only adds to the tedium. The dialogue between Evie and her partner David on his religious beliefs sounded strained, too. I can't imagine any guy talking so earnestly, it just didn't sound very realistic.
 Sorry, but I can only give this book about 2 and a half stars.
