Wow,what a disappointment!  This was just about my least favorite read in a long time.  The plot was shallow, the characters trite and the sarcasm over the top.  In fact, it wasn't sarcasm: it was pages & pages of bad slapstick, insults and snide comments.When I read "Death by Sarcasm", it was a delight.  The dialogue was witty, the story well developed and the players descriptive.  The sarcasm left you laughing at the "bite" and added to the richness of the book.  With this book, the sarcastic dialogue attacked you immediately in the first pages and you're taken back by the brashness of it.  It just wasn't funny!  Mary is obnoxious, Alice is crude and the overall story is just meaningless.  The book was wrapped-up nice and neat in the end after Mary one-handedly tracked the killers, figured out the situation, rescued the missing woman and was reunited with her lover.  Yeah, right.This is a stupid book to me and I'm sorry I bought it.  It was a fast read because there was nothing substantial in the text.  I've enjoyed many books by this author, which is why I bought this one without downloading the sample.  Lesson learned:  always read the sample before you buy!
