Title: Worse than weak coffee
Product review: What's worse than weak coffee? A weak plot and a weak main female character. I can't stand this main character who allows her philandering ex-husband to stay in her apartment. This woman is a 'victim' of her ex-mother-in-law's attempts to get the couple back together. While apparently upset that she 'has' to let her ex-husband stay with her, she is flirting with a married detective. Ugh. Add a pretentious attitude toward coffee-making and you have a thoroughly distasteful character.So is that the worst of it? No. The story is interrupted several times by instructions on making the so-called perfect cup of coffee. Is this supposed to be a coffee cookbook or a mystery? Including the recipes at the back of the book is one thing, but in the middle of the story?This story seems so poorly written I can't see how it ever made it to the publisher. Maybe it was self-published--that would explain a lot.Just like with bad $5 coffee, it doesn't live up to the hype. No more for me, thanks.
