Bell, Book, and Scandal (Jane Jeffry Mysteries)

Rating:
Summary: Not up to Jill Churchill's usually charming standard.
Review: With a few exceptions, I agree heartily with everyone that has reviewed Bell, Book & Scandal. I was so shocked at the difference in writing style, lack of character development, and simple dialogue that I logged on to Jill Churchill's website to make sure she actually wrote this book. Well, she did, but you would never know in comparing it with her other books. Jill Churchill normally writes a well developed character-driven mystery with an emphasis on charm. How many authors could make suburban life and car pooling interesting? Don't bother with this one, but pick up Grime & Punishment or another of her earlier mysteries. I look forward to the old Jane.
