Her fear of commitment is frustrating. If I were Nick I would move on. The story line is out of touch with reality. What movers and shakers would just allow a stranger in their lives? Then to have that stranger snoop around their homes undetected???????? ( ) I liked Cynthia Baxter's first book because the characters were interesting and different from most of the "cozy" characters. This book, however, just annoyed me. There's absolutely no growth in the characters...Jessica is still non-commital and nosy, Nick still hangs on waiting for her to grow up. The idea that someone is just "interested in murders" is ridiculous. Jessica has absolutely no connection to the murdered man and only the most tenuous of relationships with the dog allegedly responsible for the accident that caused his death. And then there's the setting. Ms. Baxter is supposedly a native of Long Island. Yet she repeatedly says the Norfolk police are in charge of crimes in the "East End." That would be Suffolk county, not Norfolk county. And why make up the "Bromptons?" Just call it the "Hamptons" and be done with it. Spend a weekend out there researching the street names and the types of restaurants, shops, etc and then make it real. You don't need to use people's names to make something realistic. Plus, people who guard their privacy don't let total strangers hang around them and ask prying questions, even if that person is a vet. People who love their animals as much as the characters in this book have a great deal of loyalty to the vet who cares for them. They certainly aren't apt to just open right up to a new one. Just because someone likes animals, doesn't make them automatically trust someone else who likes animals. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)
A charity dog show has Jessica hitting the road with her faithful one-eyed Dalmatian, Lou, and her tailless Westie, Max, for the palatial summer estates of Long Island's fabled East End. When she arrives, the posh seaside community is crawling with stars eager to take best in show for their beloved pooches. But it's murder most tacky when a celebrity photographer is felled by a giant ice sculpture at a $500-a-plate fund-raiser. Unable to resis the scent of the hunt, Jess is soon investigating a casting director's dream of potential suspects. But if Jess isn't careful, she just might become the next victim of a killer determined to prove she's barking up the wrong tree. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
