Review: Proved my custom of avoiding
Rating: 1 out of 5

almost any book less than 300 pages. A black and red wedding dress? (Not the protagonist.) With red hair to match and a black veil and bridesmaids attired all in black?? What happened to the time-honored custom that wearing black at a wedding is unlucky?? And since when do the participants wear their tuxes and gowns for wedding rehearsals, and after it's over, repair to the venue's (in this case a restaurant) bar for the rest of the evening? Characters had no depth, plot premise was fair except predictable and the murderer and drug tie-in were obvious from the gate, as was the late-stage proposal. Talk about telegraphing a plot. If the pre-published effort was read or edited, it was either by someone without a pulse or who was half asleep at the time. Among them: "Either he knew about this set up or was complacent in it," and "Her and Jack didn't always see eye to eye,". And far too many biscotti to suit me, but that could just be me since I can't stand the stuff, and I could easily have done without the farting grannies - that hasn't been funny since Blazing Saddles. I MAY try one more in this series but if it's of the same ilk as this one, I'll give subsequent efforts a very large miss.
