“The Chase” seemed like it would be a good suspenseful read but shortly into the work the author does something that lost any interest in her novel I may have had. Her character Karis Walker is just too laughable. She is confronted by five Hispanic males in a run down neighborhood who could rape or kill her. The leader tells her that they will only take her purse this tme. She responds by saying that there are business cards in her purse and that if they come across clues for the case she is working on, please call her. I had to laugh at the stupidity of this character and the situations that are just not believable. I am also surprised that no editor of the publishing company caught this glaring mistake. Readers should not bother with “The Chase.”
