Everywhere that Mary Went by Lisa Scottoline
Everywhere that Mary Went is a dumb book. Mary DiNunzio is lawyer for one of the top three law firms in Philadelphia and she is looking to make partner. She starts receiving sort of threatening notes at work so she thinks her life is in danger. She's a recent widower and that colors a lot of her thinking. The whole story stumbles from one event to the next with no clear direction of trying to solve the case. Mary whines a lot, too and doesn't seem all that bright and the people around her don't seem that bright either.
The book is from 1993 so there are a lot technology things that are weird for instance her decision to bet her first answering machine and figuring out how to work it. That's not the fault of the writer. It was fresh when she wrote it.
And there are the weird romance novel aspect to it as well. She finds the best, most thoughtful lover, but he might be the killer. The whole book struck me as off.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
