Didn't come up to expectations

The story idea was good and so is the author's writing style, but for me there were too many things that didn't add up. Riley is supposed to be excellent as a profiler, but I didn't really view her insights as extraordinary. In fact, sometimes she's rather dim-witted, as evidenced by one of the later scenes in the book with the female patient. Most of the action seemed to be a frantic race from one place to another, where the minor characters ended up doing more of the rescuing or discoveries than the main characters. I didn't feel a lot of investment in the romance between Riley and Thayne either. Maybe it's because the reader doesn't get to see their attraction for each other from the beginning of their relationship.
