The Devil’s Closet by Stacy Dittrich is the first book in her crime series featuring Detective CeeCee Gallagher but I am afraid this is a series that I will not be continuing. I found the book badly written, the main character highly unlikable, and the tired, over-used plot boring. The author seemed to emphasize the main character’s marital problems and her new love connection more than the very serious case of child killings that they were supposed to be working on which increased my dislike of the book.

I don’t have much to say about this book as it was disappointing and not worth the time spend reading. ( )

I am very impressed with her debut. I love the "woman's" view of policework. I can't wait to see what happens with CeeCee and the gang! ( )
