Negative Positive
Title: No plot, and too much sex.
Review: This book was highly recommended to me, but I'm afraid I was extremely disappointed. I realize this point of view is becoming old-fashioned, but the immorality was very offensive to me. Her new fiancee basically rapes her, in plenty of detail, and she marries him anyway. It should come as no surprise to readers that he continues to abuse her until he finally leaves her. There is not a single chapter that doesn't refer to sex in some way.Besides that, the book is quite simple. Every mystery is easily solved in one chapter, with no twists anywhere. The first five chapters are spent telling every detail not only of her life up to that point, but also her father's. But none of it ties in with the rest of the book. Basically nothing "ties in" at the end of the book. It just rambles on until it finally stops, leaving the reader craving a book with some kind of plot. If you are looking for a good lady detective, try Mrs. Pollifax.
