Title: TRYING to say something nice...
Review: Whoo-hoo and Holy Cow. This is a bad one. And the worst part is, it's the June '05 selection of our library's mystery club so I HAVE to finish it. I was shaking my head by the end of the FIRST PAGE!!! We go from descriptions of "Jack"'s wardrobe to yukky descriptions of the murders that Richard Montonari did a lot better in HIS newest, "Rosary Girls". I wouldn't insult Stephanie Plum by comparing her to Jack Daniels. Nothing about Daniels seems real. She's tries waaaay too hard to be "tough". Patricia Cornwell tried the same thing, but Kay Scarpetta came off just a little masculine and more vulnerable than anything else. Jack Daniels reminds me of a third grader on the playground trying to bully down the first graders. I probably shouldn't dis this book because I'm only on page 30, but it REALLY stinks. If anyone sees anything good in this book, please let me know. I really want to like it, but...
