I'm not sure about this one. It was a quick read and somewhat enjoyable but it also left a quite empty feeling in its wake. The resolve of the mystery is rather classic, but here it doesn't sit well with me.
Abysmally bad.
Unsure how to feel about this one. I liked it, loved it in parts, and hated it in others. Also, I thought it was going to be a mystery set in a bookstore, but it really wasn't. False advertising, book!
The characters are oddly unlikeable. I wanted to feel for all of them, but could only muster up the curiousity to keep reading through the mystery. I felt the worst for the MC's best friend in the end. Poor girl.
Lots of bad decisions happening here from beginning to end, and no one to blame but the characters themselves. I know I sound like I hated this book, but I swear I didn't. Three stars. Read it and let me know what you think.
Pretty good mystery - several interesting twists, and it all wove together in the end. I could have done without the detailed recounting of the crime and the scene afterwards, but at least it was a small portion of the book. There's a great line near the end, when a courier delivers personal information to one of the characters, and the character apologises for being too out of it to sign without being asked. The courier says 'I'm used to it, man. I deliver results for medical tests, divorce papers, all kinds of heavy shit. I bear news, man.' I loved that.
