What was most disappointing about Gemma Halliday’s story? ![]() As a thriller/mystery story, the plot was poor, the dialogue worse and my interest diminished to non-existent. I would be very surprised if people would enjoy this as a caricature of LA life. Had a man written this story, he would have been pilloried for viewing women as being so shallow. It may be an LA thing, but if I was a woman, I would not want to be portrayed as being so superficial. She is clearly following an Evanovich style formula with the love interest being a Latin policeman (Spanish not Italian origin) and a series of ridiculous and uninteresting characters. Where Janet Evanovich has created a likeable character in Stephanie and surrounded her with larger than life characters, Gemma Halliday has created a female character in Maddie Springer who is two dimensional, predictable and not very likeable. ![]() This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?Īs somebody who loved the Stephanie Plum novels, I bought the first six of this series based on the reviews. ![]()
