barefootsong 's review for:

Real Murders by Charlaine Harris
1.0

This book is basically made up entirely of tropes that I just don't like. The worst were the two love interests who are very territory males (ugh) and the fact that the main female character has complaints and/or dislike of every other female character.

Besides that, all of the characters lacked ... character. They felt like cardboard-cutouts of boring people. Very few details about the town either. The mystery was okay, but I just wasn't really invested since the characters were all so flat.

(I could also quibble about the way the library is run, but I'm a librarian so I notice these things. It's not like it's giving libraries/librarians a bad name, so I'll let that slide.)
