Review title: Strike Two!
Product review: I tried to read "Render up the Body," but couldn't get past page 50. That's usually a pretty good indicator to how I'm feeling about the author and his/her writing. But in an effort to be fair, I read "A Suggestion of Death" and actually stayed with it through the end. There was no urgency, no excitement of any kind, and it was certainly not a page-turner. The only slightly interesting character was the receptionist, Beverly. The ending was especially bad; it just fell with a dull thud. By that point I really didn't care anymore. All in all, this book was a dud.
