tedski 's review for:

A Dark Lure by Loreth Anne White
1.0

There is a good reason you don't see "Romance" listed among my "Favorite Books," in my profile, and this one is exhibit A as for why not. It had the most ridiculously implausible "romance," and the underlying mystery/suspense story was poorly executed, with obvious red herrings and silly plot contrivances, including (gasp!) a heretofore unknown twin of the killer, who was wrongly convicted of the previous crimes.

I did rather enjoy the writing in the fly-fishing scenes, and, for the most part, the quality of the prose was very good throughout the story, especially in establishing setting. However, it was all wrapped around a lot of hackneyed characterization and weak plotting.
