1.0 out of 5 stars Half Wit Britt, Always in a Snit, 9 Jul 2005
By A Customer
I didn't like the protagonist at all. Britt is a whining drone who is a news reporter in Boston. Estranged from her older sister Greta and abandoned by their mother in early childhood, Britt is a lone wolf who keeps everyone away at fang's length.
Things change radically when her brother-in-law informs her that Greta died in a suspicious fire and that his 11-year old daughter, Zoe, wants to see her. Why? Britt flies to their New England state where she meets an eclectic cast of characters.

A couple who is paying a young girl to turn her baby over to them once she delivers. They are an unlikable pair and the girl is rude, nasty and singularly unpleasant.

A young resident who has his own agenda.

The other locals.

Each character might have some insight into the fire that claimed Greta's life and destroyed their home. Only Zoe remains poignantly optimistic; she and her dad were the only likable characters. I like the way he was initially abrupt and dismissive of Britt because I didn't like Britt in the first place.

The ending was a disappointment and very predictable. You could see it coming from early on in the book.
