I mean, she seemed to dense. <br /><br />Lynn: This one would have probably been hell on your blood pressure given that the heroine had a track record for having "personal relationships" with male colleagues.<br /><br />AL: That's exactly it! A more logical thinking heroine and the book would have been 100 pages shorter ;)<br /><br />Nath: Definitely NOT a romance. At all.

Obviously the stupid heroine was necessary to provide the conflict (prolong the situation). Decent writing notwithstanding, I don't think I could have read it through either.aztecladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14857872357667370906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-37221129333587763202011-11-16T23:46:25.178-08:002011-11-16T23:46:25.178-08:00This sounds like a book I'd never have been ab...This sounds like a book I'd never have been able to finish, I'd have burned it! Being a police officer and female I undoubtedly would hate it. I find a lot of mysteries make me growl out of frustration at the inproper procedures, etc, but I usually can put some of that aside as long as the story and/or the characters are interesting.Lynn/Elsandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10840651966946807226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-53829627441613302782011-11-16T15:42:08.679-08:002011-11-16T15:42:08.679-08:00I have trouble whenever a woman is portrayed as em...I have trouble whenever a woman is portrayed as empty-headed--and in this case, one would wonder why any policy force would want someone like this in a position of authority. I can tolerate some of the fluff-brained females of Regency historicals, but come on . . . why should anyone in this day and age have to put up with reading the story of a clueless woman? We meet too many of those in real life.Dr Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06116344761479545032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-76605355414615202862011-11-16T07:37:28.472-08:002011-11-16T07:37:28.472-08:00I've never read this author and had been readi...I've never read this author and had been reading less than favorable comments about her books.
