A Grave Mistake

Sarah Sammis

A Grave Mistake came highly recommended to me by a friend. She and I usually agree on books so I was surprised when I couldn't make it past chapter 5.

The back of the book sounds like the type of book I'd normally enjoy with the homicide of an unidentified man, a loan shark who's treatening one of the main characters and finally a confrontation of an unknown foe.

Unfortunately seventy pages in, nothing had happened except for long passages about Jilly Gable's insecurities and some sex scenes. The sex wasn't interesting enough to keep my attention. So I stopped reading not really sure what the book was about except that it takes place in Toussaint, Louisiana.
