Murder Crops Up (Gold Medal Books Series)

Rating:
Summary: Lame
Review: I don't think even Liz cared who dun it. This mystery was severely lacking in mystery. It was mostly about Liz driving back and forth to the garden and obsessing about whether to make it with Paul Drake. (Maybe in the first book his silly name was explained - Paul Drake as in the old Perry Mason series, I presume.) I found this boring and preachy. I don't think I'll read another in this series -- I enjoyed "Murder in the Marketplace" -- but I'm tired of Liz's poor-but-happy-I-can-shop at-the-thrifts personality. Let's face it - is there a woman alive who doesn't crave a new piece of clothing sometimes?

Summary: Funny and light; Easy Read
Review: I enjoyed ths book very much. I found it easy to read and follow. I enjoyed the descriptions which were pleasing without excessive detail. The characters are interesting and believable; moreso than the crimes which are there but beside the point. A little too much politics woven into the story, but all in all a very good read. Well worth the money.

Summary: Where WAS everybody during the killer event???
Review: I like reading Roberts for the local color, cast of characters. Hey--it's where I'm at; and we ARE like that, many, often, almost daily.. (Not coo-coo,though-except for individual passions...like those composty diggers).However, this book lacks credibility in its basic plot. Cause however could "that" happen with all those people milling around? Of course I read to the very end.
