Are people really like this? I'm afraid I spent so much time rolling my eyes at the overwritten characterizations, that my eyeballs actually HURT!

I really wanted to like this book, and since I already have number 2, I'll go ahead and read it (eventually), but I'm not expecting great things from it. Hopefully ... it will surprise me ...

All I really have to say is ... if I read one more cozy series with the same plastic, totally unrealistic, annoying Mother-Of-The-Heroine-who-wants-nothing-more-than-to-meddle-in-her-daughter's-life-and-see-her-married-off-to-a-nice-catholic-boy type character, I may scream, then give up looking for new and engaging authors, and go back to re-reading every Dick Francis, Lawrence Block, Nero Wolfe, The Saint and The Shadow novel I've collected over the last 30 years ....
