Good Beginning, but Could be Headed Towards Cliches

The first look really intrigued me, and there seemed to be a very interesting dynamic between the husband and wife, and that seems to be an integral part of the conflict. Yet, it did seem to hit a lot of cliche beats, so hopefully it steers away from that later on. From the impending drinking problem, to the murdered father cop, there seemed to be a lot of fairly standard setup. I would love to read more of this, but only if I felt like it was really going in a direction where I couldn't predict most of the plot to the end. I also wish that I had at least gotten to read to the end of the page with the first look since it got cut off. I may seek out another sample just to find out how that sentence ended.
