Mausetot: Ein Fall für Mrs. Murphy by Rita Mae Brown

1.0

I have read a lot of the Mrs. Murphy, Pewter and Tucker books but I agree with the majority out there- this was one of my most horrendous reads of the year.
I understand the necessity of addressing the cancer part of the story, and it is important, hell, my mother, sister and aunt had breast cancer and I've had at least 5 other relatives die of it.
But if you want to air your uneducated backwater views on politics, write an editorial in your local paper. No one cares, is interested or wants it in the guise of our favorite characters, especially not for 5 pages followed by an adorable pencil sketch which is supposed to distract from your egomanical ravings. Ms. Brown, really. You and your editor should be ashamed that this was printed.
There was next to no plot and it appeared in the last 4 pages that you remembered there was supposed to be a mystery going on and wrapped it up in 3 paragraphs with the most contrived unbelievable drivel I have ever read.
Please don't waste the publisher's budget on releasing this in paperback, audio or ebook. It's not worth any of it.
