    A Lonely Death - Ho Hum
    I found this book very difficult to follow and the characters were dry and uninteresting. The plot line was disappointing since the book is a whodunnit and the who the perpetrator was, wasn't ever much of a mystery. Some books impact you, some change you, some entertain you. This one bored me.

    This is my first book I have read in the series. I felt that it was a little slow moving and some of the characters were flat. There were times that I did not known where Rutledge was as he was traveling around the country. I know that this is a stand alone novel but if I had read some of the other books in the series, I may have understood Rutledge better. When I found out who the killer was I was not impressed but I read on. I am not saying it is an awful novel but it does not suit my taste.
