Review title: No thanks, I'll pass ...
Product review: I really enjoyed Ms. Murray's first book, *Larger Than Death,* and was looking forward to reading this one. But this book could be an example of "What Not To Do" in Fiction Writing 101 - if there is such a class (?). Within the first few pages, the author keeps adding more and more characters into the mix without giving much "fleshing out." Indeed, she might as well be just listing them, as on a playbill. I can make a passable family tree for intestate succession purposes, and that's what I had to do - start a family tree/character chart at the beginning. But then I just gave up as she continued to pile on the list of people. I've got enough challenges in my life without having to "work at" leisure time reading. My advice is to pass this one up.reviewed by mbmlaw
