Well, I love the cover. Reminds me of a Magritte painting for some reason. But I think I’ll take your advice and try a newer book if I ever get the urge to try this author.

Yes, there is definitely a formula to Goodman’s books — very like Barbara Michaels — smart heroine, Bad things. But I love them both! I agree that this isn’t her best, though I still had fun reading it. I really enjoyed The Seduction of Water a lot (her 2nd book I think).

I haven’t read any of her books either. But I usually pretty forgiving when it comes to mysteries — I read them for the escape, not the wonderful writing (tho some are fantastic).

It didn’t make me feel as doofusy as Lolita, though!

I still think she’s worth reading…but maybe not every book.

I’m lazy too! Although I’m trying to be better.

Hah! Excellent point. Although, the ending drug (dragged?) on, so I would’ve had to read the last few chapters in this case!

The last thing I need is to feel undereducated! I feel that way already … and feel like such a lazy modern reader already. Thanks for the honest and informative review.

Now see…if you had read the ending first (as you normally do) the ending would not have been a surprise.
