Title: Definitely Unft
Review: There sure seems to be no shortage of loyal fans of this series, but after my first Nina Reilly read, I am at a loss as to why. 454 pages in paperback might have benefited greatly from being about half that. I don't think writers are paid by the word, but when you read sentences like "Nina went with the evocatively named lemongrass-skewered sea scallops" you can only shake your head.Or how about the denouement ... where her lover is about to topple over a railing ..., looks at Nina, smiles (SMILES? As you're nearly falling to your death?) and says "love you?" Really bad stuff.The trial (during which I was rooting mightily for disbarment) scenes are void of tension or interest. Like another reader, I skimmed quite a bit just to get through it - I did shell out [money] after all. It became almost a perverse challenge to finish this. God bless the O'Shaughnessy sisters for getting away with this kind of writing, but they won't [draw] me in again.
