Book 38, 2015
Jun. 13th, 2015 11:08 pmI brought my work book home to finish this weekend. I didn't want to suffer any longer than I had to. The book was Missing Marlene by Evan Marshall. Apparently, it is the first in his "Partners in Crime" mystery series, featuring literary agent Jane Stuart. From the author bio, I learned Marshall is/was also a literary agent. One would suppose he could recognize dreck when he reads it, so it baffles me that he wrote it.
This book was one big eye-roll from start to finish.
( Cut for rant and spoilers )
In short, I didn't like the story. I didn't like the characters or the plot, and the narrative was hum-drum. The book had two redeeming features:
1. A cat
2. This quote: "Money is nice...if you don't have to pay too high a price for it."
I'm giving this one two stars:
★★
