Okay, I was drawn into the synopsis of this book immediately. I was intrigued by a murder mystery, with 3 young female travelers, in Seoul. First off, the 3 main characters are all equally forgettable, which doesn't help you, the reader, care much about Cameron when she gets accused of murder on their first day of the trip. Cameron herself feels emotionless as the whole event is unfolding. All the minor characters, like the cops, detectives, etc all have such emotionless dialogue-it gave it a really robotic feel and left me wondering why was this happening? It seemed no one in the book cared what was happening-so why should I? Except for a rare few panicky moments by our two main characters-Robyn and Shelby-there's a lot of apathy by everyone else, Cameron included when she is in jail, telling them to just accept her fate and leave her there. The most interesting part of the book actually happens in a dream/flashback sequence. I feel that is where the author excelled and I would've rather read a book that was all about the characters in the historical Korean kingdom-their life was far more interesting than these 3 girls with no substance. If this author wrote more historical fiction like that, I would read that. In the end, the book is wrapped up quickly-a little too quickly- as they somehow manage to get Cameron's innocence in the crime proved-after dawdling around for most of the book, all this action happens in the last 10 pages which felt really anticlimactic as a reader.
