 Strawberry Shortcake Murder by Joanne FlukeMy rating: 2 of 5 stars The story could really be decent if the writing had been more in-the-moment. There are far too many moments in which some sort of action/investigating is starting, and the author stops the anticipation half-way through only to conclude it with a "had" section (ie. a section that is playing catch-up, like "it turned out that she'd found nothing of importance", etc.). As with the first book, I really couldn't stand the obsession with people's weight. It really sours the book--and my opinion of the protagonist--when all she can do is internally remark on people's weight, how their clothes fit, and their eating habits. View all my reviews

This is a weird take on mystery novels, but I like it. I mean, it is something new, and it is not really ordinary either. I think that most people will find this absurd, and it is, but in my opinion, it is a breath of fresh air. It is because everything is the same that we are not able to enjoy them. I want to read new content, and this is a huge example of the things that I want to read. Leave a Reply. |
