2.0 out of 5 stars
rambling story,
This review is from: Mrs. Malory and No Cure for Death (Mrs. Malory Mystery) (Mass Market Paperback)
This one got docked a half star for the plethora of characters. Quite possibly if I'd read all 15 books in the series, instead of having previously read only one of them, it wouldn't be so overwhelming. That's always a problem coming into the middle of a series.
However, if the book had grabbed me, it wouldn't have bugged me so much--I'd just feel compelled to start at the beginning. But this was such a rambling story--we get treated to discussions of the main character cleaning out her closets, for example--that I lost track of what the mystery was supposed to be for chapters at a time.

Mrs. Malory and No Cure for Death,
This review is from: Mrs. Malory and No Cure for Death (Mrs. Malory Mystery) (Mass Market Paperback)
The book was very good. It held my interest. The clues were in plain sight but I was not as smart as Mrs. Malory in getting the answer.
