Twist on a common whodunitThe opening was intriguing, with colorful characters brought to life by the skill of the writing. I enjoyed the banter between them...for a while. I'll get back to that.
The oddities bothered meFirst off, it wasn't poorly written, but it was the writing style that annoyed me somewhat.
Clipped Narrative-Style WritingThe story was good. It had real potential to be great.
Despicable Character You Love to HateStuart is a criminal and completely deplorable.
Interesting But RushedA typical near-first-meeting romance but with a little more involved story with Silas and his step-brother.
Intriguing ReadThe only reason for the four stars instead of five is because it was predictable at times.
Falls Short of its PotentialThe main protagonist, Gwen, is not a detective by trade, she's a college student.
Hard To DecideI have read multiple books by Mary Higgins Clark and have enjoyed them but haven't ever read any books by Carol Higgins Clark and was curious to see how they would do writing together. Ummm...I'm kind of conflicted.
Wouldn't Go Out Of My WayRoped in to help with a bake sale for the school, several retired teachers end up in the vicinity of a murder. The main character, named Phyllis, can't help but ask questions and ends up butting into the investigation even though the police tell her not to.
There were quite a few creepy moments that could have been made creepier had they been given a little more time to develop; been a little less rushed. |
