3.0 out of 5 stars Much to my disappointment....., April 15, 2010

This review is from: Murder on the Eightfold Path (Mantra for Murder Mysteries, No. 3) (Mass Market Paperback)

the third installment of this series felt lacking in mystery (yes, there IS a mystery), however, the manner in which the story unfolded made me feel like I was
experiencing a mother and daughter relationship reunion (again) which superceded any other occurrence....mysterious, comedic or otherwise.

Since I felt the second installment was barely making the grade as a cozy mystery, I was looking forward to this third title, having liked some of the characters. My pre-order had been in since the title was released. Sorry to say I won't be doing that any more. If you must read it, try the library or wait until amazon.com's prices fall greatly.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, June 7, 2010

This review is from: Murder on the Eightfold Path (Mantra for Murder Mysteries, No. 3) (Mass Market Paperback)

I enjoyed the first two installments of this series, but this one just didn't do it for me.

Maybe it was the lack of Andy, who was a fun character. Maybe it's that Elysia was exceptionally annoying in this book. Maybe it was the CONSTANT references to AJ's back problem, which didn't seem to have a purpose since she kept doing stupid things despite the pain. I'm not sure what it was, but this installment just fell flat and was actually kind of boring.

Hoping the next one is better.
