Murder by Death

I read cozy and historical mysteries, a bit of Paranormal/UF, and to mix it up, I read science and gardening books on occasion.

Murder Your Darlings (Algonquin Round Table Mystery #1)

Murder Your Darlings - J.J. Murphy

I was really looking forward to this one, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would.

 

The writing seemed a bit manic to me, as if it were more important to the author to pack in the witticisms (which were really good, btw) than it was to write a thoughtful story. The result felt a bit shallow to me - more shallow than the time/place called for.

 

I didn't hate the book, but I found myself skimming over enough of it that I'm not sure if I'll read the next one or not. Will depend on the size of my TBR pile I suppose.
