Title: A real beach book
Review: This mystery is a real summer beach book. It is meant to be taken to the beach and left on the sand. Maybe some surfer will use to light a fire.Actually, it is a bit of a hoot at times. The author liberally uses adjectives to the point of gluttony. Women have "masses of toffee-colored hair" Men sport "tousled ebony curls."All the women are cooly professional meddlers except for the fat, sweaty, brain-dead females of the congregation, while the men are either defense lawyers with noble goals, strong in their disabilities or heroic fighter pilots with piercing blue eyes and sea-burnished skin. Unless, of course, they are the evil fundamentalist groupies who have pustulent skin, greasy hair and braying voices.Maybe the author should stick with "bodice-rippers" and leave serious thriller writing to the professionals who can actually draw characters.
