Title: Was the Author phoning it in?
Review: I don't ask much of a cozy mystery, but Tamar Myers' Statue of Limitations just doesn't measure up to even my low standards. Written in the first person, this series milks the Southern Lady shtick for all it's worth, but the routine is neither charming nor winsome. Perhaps it's the sloppy editing (Rhubarb "tort;" motion alarm "censor;" "to reproof" instead of "to reprove") or the the slow pace, but I am quitting on page 201 of 353. Just can't bring myself to care who conked the socialite with the garden statue of David at the Charleston B&B.
