Better Than the 2nd Book, But Still Not Great
I decided to go ahead and read the third book in this series hoping to reconnect with the enjoyment I experienced with the first one. While this book was better than book #2, it still didn't pull me in.
The mystery aspect was okay, but too much of the storytelling was taken up with unnecessary details about Marge sketching, painting, taking walks on the beach, her internal dialogue regarding her children, men, etc. She's just not that darned interesting and she is irritatingly judgmental.
I gleaned what information I needed about the next book from its description here on Amazon, so I doubt I'll be purchasing it. Too bad because the first book was really good.
The first two books were great - just a really run read to curl up ...
The first two books were great - just a really run read to curl up with.
However, this one was very boring and not the least bit entertaining.
Too much back and forth with the same characters and no surprises.
Very predictable.
Good plot, but a bit repetitive as author sorted ...
Good plot, but a bit repetitive as author sorted out suspects. Author's style is rather blunt, so the heroine's romantic inclinations fall kind of flat. However, I enjoyed the book and will read more of
Batta's work.
Vacation with Murder
Marge Chistensen is excited to take a well earned vacation at the time-share resort of Ocean Shores that her son, Robert earned as a reward for his outstanding work.
The scenery is beautiful though the November weather demands a heavy sweater for protection from the winds off the ocean. Robert mets a young woman he had know from his marriage, but to Marge it seems like friendship more than romance as the young woman is married. The husband is an obnoxious pusher who delights in taunting his companions and co-workers.
