I kind of prefer my reading encounters with death, as a sort of unintended consequence as opposed to the main dish.col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-55056533698230909122019-07-29T05:17:27.265-07:002019-07-29T05:17:27.265-07:00Probably not one you would enjoy too much, I think...Probably not one you would enjoy too much, I think Tracy.

I enjoyed bits of this one, but equally was less enamoured with other elements. col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-48312047232300252382019-07-28T04:59:01.129-07:002019-07-28T04:59:01.129-07:00As Margot says: "And I'm not much of a on...As Margot says: "And I'm not much of a one for 'butchering' sorts of murders."

I definitely see the appeal there. And I know what you mean about the characters' backgrounds. If I'm being honest, though, I like my disbelief right next to me when I read. And I'm not much of a one for 'butchering' sorts of murders. Your review is great, as ever, but I think I"ll pass on this one.Margot Kinberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08599589137890528065noreply@blogger.com
