I Never Made It Past Chapter Four.I can't remember where my problem with the book began, but I can tell you the moment the love interest said (I'm paraphrasing):"I'll try to help you Darling, but I must warn you - my life is in danger!"That was the end of the end. Seriously. I can clearly tell that no one taught this author the benefits of "show don't tell" as a narrative tool, but there's no excuse for the editor that decided to publish it. Denise Swanson writes with amazing talent and genuine fits of laughter. She is the perfect cozy mystery author that will keep you turning the pages. This new Devereaux’s Dime Store Mystery has you becoming fast friends with Dev and the sexy U.S. Marshall Jake. Ladies, you can now close your eyes and dream him up so he can come save you from anything you can think of. Little Shop of Homicide had me in fits of laughter and cheering on Dev and her friends.
This is the beginning of a new series by Swanson, but I like the Skye Dennison books better.
