Call Me Investigating with Dani Ripper



I started the first of the Dani Ripper Novels, Call Me with a lot of interest.  The Summary was gripping and I sat down and read Call Me and entered the world of Dani Ripper.  
First, the setting and back story.  It takes place partially in Cincinnati and partially in Nashville.  Since, I am from a town two hours away from Nashville and I'm a bit homesick, I was extremely happy to find that at least some of the setting would be there.  The background of Dani Ripper is interesting and I found that I was engaged with her. 
When it comes to the characters, I really did like Dani.  However, the rest of the characters were hard to find believable.  I kind of liked Sophie but not enough to see the relationship between Sophie and Dani.   I kind of liked Ben but not enough to see that relationship either.  So, I tried but the only one I could find believable besides Dani was Detective Aub and he wasn't in the book enough to keep me interested in the characters.  
The plot was interesting and I did find myself interested in the actual story line but I did feel that it should have had more detail in parts but for the most part it did keep me engaged.  So, I enjoyed the story.  
So, I would recommend this story to people who want to read a detective's novel even though the characters left me feeling a bit disappointed.  

My rating: 2.9
Cover Rating: 3
