AND NO ONE NOTICES THIS? I mean there IS more than one nurse on a floor. Isabella wakes James up from the sedative the nurse had given him and the whole time she's threatening Penny with a gun.

I mean Isabella managed to get into his hospital room twice and none of the other staff thought it was odd even though the man was shot three times at his wedding reception? They literally have a list of people who can visit (his own friends are not allowed) and security on the door and no one sees his ex stroll in and out on two separate occasions? Anyway - the last time she gets in there, she has the member of his security team use chloroform on Penny and she wakes up in the hospital room duct taped to a chair. Added to that, when Penny and James are questioned by a new detective who is taking over their case and the detective point blank says he is missing key information when another officer was supposed to fill him in AND NOT A SINGLE PERSON IN THE ROOM THINKS THIS IS SUSPICIOUS?Īnd then we have the fact that EVERY SINGLE DOCTOR AND NURSE NOT BEING PAID OFF TURNS A BLIND EYE TO EVERYTHING GOING ON. I mean come on now - I'm expected to believe that one woman was so evil and diabolical that she not only enlisted the help of a former enemy of James, but a police officer, a member of his security team, a lawyer (to formulate fake paperwork), a nurse, AND James' own mother and absolutely NO ONE figures it out sooner? Come the heck on now! Sure one or two things might have slipped through the cracks, but not all of this. I liked how the author tried to add substance to this novel through the use of James' ex-wife Isabella, however her villainy was just so over the top bad that I couldn't take her seriously either.
