suzannetronier 's review for:

A Good Neighborhood by Therese Anne Fowler

2.0

---

I was prepared to give this three stars until the ending. Ugh. I never enjoyed the meta voice: the sometimes omnipotent spectator/sometimes neighborhood gossip voice that commented on the proceedings. This story took a bunch of mainly one dimensional characters, put them in predictable or sometimes too coincidental circumstances, commented on it from afar and then killed off the most likeable character. I'm sorry, but I'd had it by then.

I vote Therese Anne Fowler go back to the historical fiction that I quite enjoyed.
