Negative Positive
Title: Bored and Annoyed
Review: This story moved at a snail's pace. I admit that I hung on until the end because I wanted to see where this mystery led, but I found myself skipping over chunks of repetitive and self-indulgent angst masquerading as character development so I could get to the next actual piece of action. A wife disappears, her architect husband may have killed her, her former best friend wants to make up, and so joins the search for her, and everybody is keeping secrets. It sounded great on the cover. Unfortunately, the publisher neglected to divulge that this author spends a lot of time writing about what a crummy place Los Angeles is (why?) instead of focusing on the story. Having read the other reviews of this book, the best I can say is that fans of O'Shaunessy's work seem to agree that this just isn't one of her best stories.
Is the review positive or negative?
