It's not that I am squeamish but I just think that doesn't necessarily show me great writing. I prefer to have good characters who grow as the series progresses. <br /><br />I don't know about this one for me. the setting sounds interesting but hm, I think I'll wait for your review of the second book to see if you think it's a series you'll continue with!Ilianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026669671843769219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-34995842159885664102011-01-08T19:03:35.623-05:002011-01-08T19:03:35.623-05:00Like you, 99% of what I used to read was murder/my...Like you, 99% of what I used to read was murder/mystery.

Though it does sound as though that might be the only thing about the book that makes it stand out from others of it's kind, I think I wan to try it.

I'm thinking the predictable plot and the not stellar narration would be a turn-off for me. Yeah, I could read it in print, but I like to listen to mysteries.Beth Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08627666337961326265noreply@blogger.com
