To Die for: A John Anderson Mystery (Crime & Passion)

Rating:
Summary: Skip this book!
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed the first three books, credited to a Juliet Hastings. They were well-written and kept my attention all the way through. (I did not understand why they were sold as "erotica." I thought they were excellent "suspense/thriller/crime" books.) This is credited to a Peter Birch, who seems to be writing as though he is getting paid by the word. The story line is OK, but the characters never take on any life so that you do not care what happens to them. As a result, if this is supposed to be erotica it fails, as the sex is clinical and boring. Either bring back a better storyteller or kill off Anderson!
