Naked Heat (2)

Scatterbrained writing that makes fun of independent women and lovesick men. Nikki Heat is independent to the point of shunning men until she wants sex. And Jameson Rook is her lovesick man who follows her miserably since she's not giving anything. And then, what is this business with bringing on characters for bit parts and then using them again and again. Holly Flanders gave an interesting point of view about the victim, but it was information that we didn't need to know. It didn't move along the story. And didn't play any part of red herring. And Petar? He didn't really do anything than try to show a softer side as well. The information he gave was repeated by other people, so really the only reason he was there was to make Rook jealous and to get kicked to the curb again by Nikki. 

Of course this is a mystery novel, so ignoring the character flaws, the mystery took many twists and turns. It was hard to get into at first, but as you keep reading it does pick up the flow. And you will want to know what happens in the end.
