Title: Wish I could give it a zero.
Review: Unlike the reviewer for Publisher's Weekly, I did not find the character of Annie Darling to be "polite, considerate, cheerful" or appealing in any way. Her actions towards others and her considerable mean-spirited and negative thoughts towards others made her a very unattractive personality. Annie's mother-in-law, made out to be dim-witted and boozy, was constantly being derided, yet she never did a single mean or hurtful thing to either Annie or Max. The murder was boring and the path to the "whodunit" made no sense at all. Read something else by someone else.
