I picked up this novel for just one reason - to get the "Series Pioneer" achievement on the Kindle Reading Insights for this quarter of the year. If I wasn't reading it for this targeted reason, I imagine, I'd have made it a DND less than 1/2 way through. I wanted to like it as it was set in Pittsburgh (but besides a name check or, it could have been set anywhere in the US.) And I liked the description of how the main character trains police dogs - also an element of the story which drops away as the plot unfolds. I didn't like the narrator as she felt one dimensional. And her interactions with the drug kingpin ludacris in places. The suspense was minimal and I found the climax unbelievable and unsatisfying. I'm not planning on reading the sequel.
