Title: Ponderous and Vapid....Unless you are obsessed with orchids, stay away....
Review: I must confess I could not finish this book. I will generally finish a book when I've invested time in it, and care about the characters, even with major flaws.But this book was deadly, I didn't care about the characters in anyway, nor did the non-mystery compel me to finish the novel. The worst sin a mystery novel can contain is not having an interesting, and compelling mystery. At minimum it must give me something to detect!I feel that this book belongs with the "cat" and other niche mysteries, which I suspect are published to appeal to senseless consumers rather than actually provide a satisfying novel of mystery and suspense.Thus unless you are extremely partial to Orchids and have way too much time and money, read something else.
