Charade by Sandra Brown
Did not finish book. Stopped at 20%.
The characters and the world Sandra Brown established were wonderful! But, after a certain amount of pages, I noticed the writing became sparse and depended largely on dialogue. This is especially jarring compared to the prologue and the first four chapters, which I felt was much better thought out and written in comparison.
While I understand that she may have deliberately left things up to the reader's imagination to make it more immersive, it felt as though she relied too much on the reader using their imagination to fill in the blanks which might leave them feeling out-of-place or even bored instead; at least, that's the way I felt. Frustrated, I decided I could no longer continue.
