The mystery never really grabbed me. At 146 pages, I didn't think enough clues were given to draw me into the mystery and I never connected with any of the characters. The main character wasn't particularly likable, but she wasn't someone I hated either. She was kind of just there. Her boyfriend was someone I truly despised. All of the other characters were like the main character: nothing great but nothing terrible. I know as the story goes on each character is supposed to be revealed as having some kind of motive for trying to kill the main character, but I guess that happens later because outside of the boyfriend, none seemed to have any motive to me. I put the book down because I realized that I didn't care about any of the characters. I didn't care if any of them died or if any of them was the killer.
I'm considering including only Goodreads links and removing the links to the author's page and the Amazon page. It's a lot of work adding all those links, and they can all be found through Goodreads anyway. Does anyone mind? If enough people mind then I won't change it.
I've also been considering using the Goodreads/product description instead of writing my own summary. I'll still write my own summary if I think the blurb gives away too much information or is misleading. Any thoughts on this?
