Title: Deadly Pleasure
Review: I bought this latest book because I was familiar with most of her previous productions. It really should be titled "Deadly Dull." I was dismayed at the very poor level of writing. If this were a "1st book" I would never buy another. The dialogue was wooden. The plot was developed in a choppy way and was largely unbelievable. The heroine was impulsive, intrusive, insensitive, and so annoying that her appeal to the males (Bragg and brother) was beyond comprehension. I thought her brother-in-law's response was most reasonable and was sorry he didn't hit her or worse, so that we could see if she might actually be able to learn some restraint. I will carefully peruse any further publications purporting to be by Brenda Joyce before purchase. This one goes immediately to the second hand book store.
