The Big Dig (Carlotta Carlyle)
3 journalers for this copy...
Both my daughter and I like Linda Barnes quite a bit, and I borrowed this from her thinking I hadn't read it yet, but I had and it is good. Keeping it in the reserved queue for now to see if someone in my family wants it before I put it into general release.
This is now available!
Reserving to send to sumisez as a Birthday RABCK!
Received in mail today.
Thank you so much, Rororosie, for thinking of me!
I wish I could read it right away, but I've got a few Rings/Rays I've got to get to first.

Carlotta Carlyle is an ex-cop, current private investigator. Needing some extra cash, she decides to help out a friend and is put undercover as a secretary for the big dig, a huge over budget in Boston to put roads underground. Carlotta is searching for fraud on the worksite, and ends up working in the same trailer as those running the entire project. She's also taken on a missing persons case, hired by her landlord. Carlyle has her hands full working on both these cases.
I do most of my reading on the train and find that a good measure of how interesting a book is is how often I find myself snoozing off on the train. If I'm very interested in the book, I'll rarely fall asleep. For this book, every time I was on the train reading it, I was falling asleep. Needless to say, I didn't find this book the most exciting.
My main problem with this book is how boring Carlotta was!! You'd think as an ex-cop she'd say and do interesting things but that's not the case at all. I couldn't even really get behind her as an older sister because that part of the story is never really flushed out.
Unfortunately, I couldn't finish this one.
