Even though the loose threads were not tightly knotted at the end of Nancy Taylor Rosenberg's superior "Mitigating Circumstances," the book's ending hardly merited a sequel. Maybe the author felt the need to return to her best written and plotted effort. Unfortunately, Rosenberg comes up far short of what "Mitigating Circumstances" accomplished."Buried Evidence" is a very flawed book, starting with the fact that none of the characters are particularly sympathetic, even though the main character, Lily and her daughter, Shana, have experienced a horrible tragedy that no person should have to go through. But Lily comes across as a shrill bully, and Shana is portrayed as a narcissistic brat. Lily's nemesis, her ex-husband John, is written as such a one-dimensional villain, that when he meets his demise, the reader is left wondering "What took so long?" Equally underwritten is Lily's lover, Richard, who is still pining for her even though six years have passed, and he has been living with another woman for three of them. It makes no sense. Rosenberg simply asks the reader to accept that Lily and Richard are madly in love, and that Richard would do anything for Lily. although there is nothing about Lily's neurotic personality that would back Richard's feelings up.Rosenberg is a talented writer, and I know because I've read better books by her, "Interests of Justice" and "Mitigating Circumstances" being two of them. I like the fact that her heroines aren't conventional rich, flawless skinned heiresses who don't have a problem in the world except for a stalker/in love with another man/can't have a baby/etc.
