Title: Phoning it in
Product review: Although her books are formulaic to say the least, I generally enjoy MHC's books quite a bit. The heroines are fun, the plots are enjoyable, and the villain is not always obvious, making for suspenseful reading. It was disappointing, therefore, to read her latest, as the heroine was deadly dull and the story was predictable and flat (in fact, it appeared to me that MHC must have been having some trouble thinking of an interesting story as, instead of her usual creativity, we are treated to a rip-off of the Martha Moxley murder here; how appropriate that the book was released almost to the day of the Skakel trial's opening). Hope this putrid approximation of a MHC novel isn't a harbinger of books to come....
