Tell No Tales: A Marti MacAlister Mystery #7 di Eleanor Taylor Bland
Mystery
The first 60 pages were really hard to get through. Let's face it, Marti is pretty boring. About halfway through, the story picked up and I couldn't put it down!
While the mix of different deaths in the same local in widely spaced timeframe was well done, there were parts I found boring. Who really cares about the detectives children's sports? Even Detective Vic is somewhat of an extra. I thought the detectives spent too much time sitting around the archaeological dig site. Didn't they have anything else to do while the experts do their work?
Love "A Cold and Silent Dying" (2004), but this one just seemed to go on and on riding a track that went nowhere.
