Title: Not Theresa's best effort
Review: OK, we get it already, Ms. Monseur: Paris is a tormented, tough, sometimes gentle woman who can't decide which part of her anatomy to think with. This book had all the elements of a wonderful thriller; full of creepy but sympathetic characters and a sound plot. Save one thing; by the last third of the book. I got bogged down. In endless, mind-numbing detail. Every sentence stacatto. Fragmented segments. It was like she ran out of energy. Needed to fill space. I'll paraphrase: "She opened her makeup drawer. Withdrew the shiny cylinder of lipstick. Pulled off the silver top. Swiped her bottom lip once. Swiped her top lip once. Smacked them together." Not a direct quote, but the kind of detail that really bogged me down. Really is a pity. She wrote two excellent books. Now she seems to think she can "phone them in."
