Steelwhisper's Reviews > Grounds for Murder

I wanted to like this, wanted to read it, but after it suffered right from the beginning onwards from the same disease so many romances have, this was a short foray into cozy mysteries.

I am talking about the heroine totally lacking any self-respect and self-assuredness. The typical klutzy heroine, who stumbles through her life. Who is envious of other women who have a better grip on their lives. Yada, yada. There's little which can turn me off faster, because this typically wins the coconut of obnoxious writing.

Not just that, the author reduces a fabulous island setting to the coffee-shop and more talk about technical aspects of coffee and coffee-making than I cared to read about. And I love coffee. No rec for this one.
