About book The Glass Butterfly (2012)

Disappointing. Wanted more mystery. The whole plot as to why she was running seemed lame and never explained in depth. The parallel story was interesting but overall I felt that the book never really takes off. I found myself two-thirds of how way done realizing I was a little bored and frustrated there wasn't more substance. Glad I borrowed this from a friend rather than paid for it. Sort of like a cable TV movie on a Saturday afternoon. Not too bad watching but glad I didn't have to play full price to see. Suspenseful and face-paced, with a character who is a therapist and also has "psychic" tendencies, which she ignores in the case of a client she is working with. She has to run for her life. She also has a chance to reflect on her life, and because of her love of Puccini, there runs a counter-story through dreams about an opera he is writing and the parallels with her life. I found both stories interesting, but at times, wanted to get back to the main mystery as it came to a head.
