Jean would be embarrassed.,
By Crabby Old Lady "COL" (North Carolina) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Splash of Red (Jemima Shore Mysteries) (Paperback)
I read all day for a living, so at night, the only thing my poor brain can handle is fluff.
This book is fluff. The plot is weak and the characters seem cartoon-like. The main character is beaten up by a drunk and then proceeds to make him coffee. Picture a famous TV personality trying to spend an anonymous morning at a public library, in the Reading Room. She shows up in a Jean Muir dress, expecting not to be noticed. By anyone. I do like the way Antonia Fraser writes. You get a full picture, whether you want it or not. The story bumps along. The ending is silly and disappointing. I did like the cat.

This review is from: Splash of Red (Jemima Shore Mysteries) (Paperback)
A SPLASH OF RED by Antonia Fraser is a title I picked up because I'd read with interest several of her historical works. Ms. Fraser does not have the special something that makes for a cozy read. The book was dull to the point of boring.
