![]() ![]() ![]() I wish I were kidding.Īllegedly the man the ex-boyfriend targeted was the father of the killer who shot his wife during a mass shooting. The soap opera story line about their past together was over the top with tragedy (battered mothers, abusive fathers, cancer, cheating lovers, car accidents, psychiatric hospitals, blackmailers, mass shootings). The Ex giv es us Olivia Randall, the quite enjoyable, tough-woman attorney, who sees that her ex-boyfriend of 20 years ago has been arrested for the murder of 3 people and of course, feels compelled to take his case. nothing happened that you could not predict, the other characters remained cardboard at best and the ending suffered from obviousness. And the pose was easy to sweep through, if not exactly gripping.īut then…. ![]() The main character is quite appealing (a tough hard-boiled NY City criminal defense attorney with a touch of humor about herself). Often the reviews gush over mystery novels that I find less than “a mystery.” Sorry to say that this too is an example of over-hype. Since I had heard such great things about this book, I started it with apprehension. ![]()
