Review: Depressing, Fantasy is not a genre for L Bartlett

I enjoyed LL Bartlett's Jeff Resnick mystery series immensely.  But the Fantasy Tales of Telenia: Threshold was a flop.  The story was depressing and had a poor ending that takes you nowhere, and forces you to buy another book.  Don't waste the money.I also purchased the first three under L.B.'s other pen name, Lorna Barrett, the Booktown Mysteries.  The books are pretty much a formula.  The third book, A Bookplate Special, one an award, so if you are going to try any in that series, go straight to that one and skip the rest. They are all pretty much the same plot, and boring.  The Booktown Mysteries are going for ~$7.50 each.  Not worth it beyond one read, once you have read one, you have read them all.  The recipes at the end of the book etc just don't do it for me.The Jeff Resnick detective/mysteries are good and the only books I would recommend spending the high dollars that this author is charging for her work.  I hope she can develop this character and look forward to another great Resnick book.
