Reviews

[MurderByDeath]

I'm not sure I'd read any more in this series - the writing felt very stiff and earnest, even though I could see that she was trying to write characters that weren't. The only time the writing felt natural to me was in the dialog between her and her mother - I really liked seeing the mother/daughter relationship portrayed with mutual affection and equal sniping. :) Her reasons for 'investigating' felt forced though and in the end it was a book I had to labor through.
