The Disappearance of Karen Ward

The main problem with this work is that neither the story nor the writing is very compelling. This is a big issue because it requires the reader keep clicking on links to find one which will advance the story. The characters, the story, and the prose were banal. I was overloaded with a lot of information that, by and large, I couldn't care less about. If it had been written in first person from the perspective of the detective, it might have been interesting enough for me to finish it rather than frustrating and dull.
