I was completely disappointed with this story and with, Darcy Hunt, the main character. I read through so much repetition of what Darcy was thinking. It added nothing worthwhile to the story and certainly was one of the things that kept the plot from ever really forming. I also learned at least twenty or more times how "devoted she was to her career" and how she had solved cases that "NO OTHER AGENT COULD" and her personal life...don't even get me started on that. AHHH! We learned that a triangle symbol with the number 16 was left at the first crime scene... but then, nothing is ever revealed why the number 16 was used or was important. I would have thought that that info would have helped, considering the title of the book, which by the way NEVER had a girl or anyone else in a room #16. I also can't believe that Darcy is a "top FBI agent". If that is the FBI's "top" I'd sure had to see their "bottom". I had to laugh and then wanted to stab her with a fork to get her attention when the murderer actually enters a restaurant and delivers food to this "top agent". She stated that she "recognized the killers voice", but then what does she do...or not do? Does she arrest him? No.... Does she call for back up? No ... Does she call for someone to follow him? Nope. She sits like a deer caught in the headlights and does absolutely nothing as the murderer waltzes out on his merry way probably to his next victim. So... after all that, what got it the 2.5 stars? I did love the book cover, the book description, and also the interesting title even if it wasn't ever explained...but that was as far as my appreciation could go for this one.… (mehr)
