Review
Antonia Fraser has written six Jemima Shore mysteries....All of the books are very well written, and Jemima is an interesting, complicated heroine. If you like twists and turns and good writing, try this one. -- Mystery News, Mary Ann Steele, February/March 1999

Why Bother?,
By harpergirl "harpergirl" (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oxford Blood: A Jemima Shore Mystery (Jemima Shore Mysteries) (Paperback)
This is the second Jemima Shore book I have read. I picked up both books at a library sale. Having previously read Lady Antonia's Warrior Queens and The Weaker Vessel, I was looking forward to great reads with these two books - Oxford Blood and A Splash of Red.Sorry, Jemima Shore just doesn't appeal to me. Spoiled, precious and promiscuous, Jemima and the other characters are people I would not like to meet. Why in the world would a woman of Jemima's wealth and charm have sex with some really disgusting men? This book is not educational, entertaining, escapist, elucidating or enlightening. There is no reason to read it unless you are stuck at home in a blizzard and have nothing else to read.
