Imago (A Kate Redman Mystery: Book 3) (The Kate Redman Mysteries)

This was book 3 in the Kate Redman series, and I'm pulling the plug. There are several more books in the series (a couple of which I have obtained free), but I'm done. These are quick reads, but they are just way too predictable and formulaic. And I've really gotten to loathe the main character's inner monologue. She is constantly talking in her head (like we all are), and I just don't think it adds anything to the book. If anything it detracts from the plot since we get hung up waiting for the character to finish a thought. It's like she blacks out for a minute, and we get stuck with her in that hole until she snaps herself out it. We can already guess her weaknesses and observe her vulnerabilities. We see her in action, and so we don't need the author to constantly clue us into to them by getting to "hear" the storms of emotions inside Kate. We get it...she's troubled and has a lot of baggage she carries with her every day. Her past is still haunting her, but this isn't a new perspective on our existence on this planet. This is reality. Deal with it.
