2.0 out of 5 stars bland and tedious mystery, September 24, 2005

PJSpeck (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nerds Who Kill: A Paul Turner Mystery (Paul Turner Mysteries) (Hardcover)

I had never read a Paul Turner mystery and I doubt that I ever will read another one. This was a terrible book, tedious to read. Like many of the characters Zubro creates for this book, Zubro's writing is mildly interesting at best. Long lines of characters addressing the same issues...hardly the epitome of creativity.

2.0 out of 5 stars Whose PR dept. wrote some of the other reviews?, July 19, 2006

K. Mcfadden - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Nerds Who Kill: A Paul Turner Mystery (Paul Turner Mysteries) (Hardcover)

Anyone that has read this book needs to read these 5 star reviews and it is obvious they are connected to the author or the publishing company. This has been one of the best mystery series, and until recently, my favorite. The prior book in this series was getting a little weak. Nerds that Kill falls flat. The dialogue is canned, the last couple of chapters appear slammed together and make little sense, and overall a bit boring. I'm sorry to see this happen, but Paul Turner has clearly jumped.

1.0 out of 5 stars Zubro's weakest novel., July 12, 2005

J. E. Frederickson - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Nerds Who Kill: A Paul Turner Mystery (Paul Turner Mysteries) (Hardcover)

This is the weakest of all the Paul Turner Mystery's. It is a lesser book of a poor series. I sugguest Mr. Zubro not give up his day job.
