Customer Reviews

Mostly well written

It was obvious in reading this book that the author knows how to write a novel. I just did not care for the protagonist - Rags Goldner - from the start when she walks into her new job in a new town and, for no reason I could see (did I misunderstand something?), acts rudely and dismissively toward the only employee in the room - a middle aged woman (of which I am one). I kept reading with the hope her behavior would be explained. The story was engaging and the character of Rags developed in a consistent way. I just found her rude and unlikable.
