Negative Positive
Title: Robbed
Review: I wanted to be more generous in my evaluation but the simple truth is that I hated this book. I read the first Nick Hoffman mystery and figured that Burning Down the House was another mystery. I read a lot of books about gay sluthes and consider myself knowledgeable in this sub-genre. Therefore, I'll give the author some advice. First, give Nick something sinister to solve. I could not get involved with the plot when the main threat seemed to be prank calls to an Amazon of a woman who was more man than Nick. Second, stop with the silly product endorsements. Throughout the book, there were repeated references to a particular brand of wine, etc., when it had nothing to do with the plot. Last, cut Nick's ambiguity about which side of the fence he resides sexually. He's a gay slueth, so let him be a gay slueth. Hopefully, the author will serve up something more worthy next time.
