Title: Disappointing
Product review: I am a fan of Braun, have all her books, reread them from time to time and have enjoyed them all -- except this one. I felt the characters -- even the returning ones -- were flat, "Quill" didn't exhibit his usual witty repartee and the book didn't flow with Braun's normal intelligence. Quill seemed more preoccupied with who he was taking to dinner and what he was eating than the actual mystery. While reading, I wondered if this, in fact, was a draft that was published for whatever reason. If this had been the first book of the series that I had read, I don't think I would have read any of the others.Keep in mind, though, that Braun has set some very high standards for her readers. I shouldn't expect her to hit the mark every time, and yet she has until this book. I admit, she's spoiled me. I'm looking forward to the next one with the hope that she will again be back on top.
