...THIS HAPPENS...
1. Reputable author (in my eyes) has a new release; a stand-alone from her usual crime fiction series, though still a thriller/mystery
2. About 60 pages in to a vanilla story with a vanilla cast to a vanilla formula to a vanilla (instant) romance
3. After being burned by another reputable-in-my-eyes author this year
4. This is WHY I ALWAYS keep my receipt in the back of the book
She's out of here. I don't care if Tess Gerritsen wrote this book. I learned my lesson last month reading a stand-alone book from Nevada Barr. Absolutely NO more stand-alone books from my favorite mystery authors. From now on, either we're sticking with his or her series or not sticking at all.
