Ransom River by Meg Gardiner
2.0

This was an incredibly convoluted story for what turned out to be a pretty simple plot. It was full of so many twists and turns that felt extraneous. It also couldn't decide whether it wanted to be a romance novel or a thriller, and the two plots distracted from each other. Most of the characters were pretty unlikable and it all seemed too far fetched for my taste. Not a horrible book, but it felt like a waste of time when there are so many good thrillers out there.
