The Second Husband

Emma's husband, Derrick is murdered in a seemingly random killing. She remarries rich. The police reopen the case and start asking questions.

In the first few chapters, I thought this would evolve into a fun whodunnit and was paying attention to who was who. Then it turned into Emma's thinking and rethinking day by day. Her interactions with other characters were dry as the characters themselves.

I plodded on, thinking that the ending would be satisfying enough to forgive the time it took to read this book. That did not happen. I hate when the bad guy/girl is such an unacceptable option.
