★☆☆☆☆
Wonder Woman, much ??
This book reads like it was written by a self-absorbed, delusional 13 year-old girl. The attempt to portray our heroine (Riley) as the only person with any brains at the FBI (including her witless lapdog of a partner) and as having the sole authority to assault, arrest, and violate the rights of anyone she might FEEL to be guilty with impunity makes this more of a super-hero comic book than a legitimate novel for adult readers. Some years ago, I kept such reading material in the bathroom -- for inspiration. As an added bonus, the already-read pages could be torn out to serve another crucial need. But now with e-books, as I'm not into the idea of flushing my iPhone, I've had to stop reading such tripe, I did considered giving this author one more chance, because as bad as the book was, the storyline had potential. I read that book two in this series teams Riley up with a NEW partner, a female, and I considered that the two of them could perhaps hop aboard the tuna boat and ride it to a happier place where Riley could stop hating or abusing every male she ran into and get down to some actual honest detective work. But after reading reviews by those that enjoy police procedurals more than fairy tales, it seems that instead of getting better, book two is simply twice as bad. No thanks ,,,,,,,,,
