This review is from: Body of Evidence (Mass Market Paperback)

The title of this book, 'Body Of Evidence', led me to believe that there was some suspense or mystery to these somewhat weak tales of romance. I was wrong. The murder is simply the means to bring the two lovers together. The attempts at detailing any investigation are very superficial and would never lead to an arrest in the real world. Then there are the characters, particularly in Jackie Merritt's tale. They are actually annoying. Who would ever love someone who always wimpers and tells you she is not attracted to you? Justine Davis' selection is well written but cannot save the book. I will apologize to Pickart because I was too bored to start her episode. The idea of following a murder from the beginning of the investigation until the verdict was compelling, but it was too hastily thrown together for my liking.
