Thirty pages into this book i had a good idea who the killer was and i hated the two main characters (they establish their 'romantic tension' by insulting each other constantly). I skipped ahead to the end, and whadya know? Even the last chapter was grievously overwritten, the characters were still narcissistic jerks, and while i didn't have the details exactly right, i was disturbingly close. And given how many pages at the end are spent explaining, in detail, why what was done was done, i suspect that the 200+ pages i skipped were just the 'romantic' leads running around blindly, finding dead bodies, and saying rude things to each other.
