Defend and Betray by Anne Perry

3.0

Entirely too many aquiline noses and too-wide mouths. For example: "Her cheekbones were broad, her nose short and aquiline, her mouth beautiful but far too wide..." Or this one: "She had a short, aquiline nose, very blue eyes and a mouth far too wide..."

Weirdly, all this very specific description of each character's face did nothing to give me a mental image of any of them.

Also, I'm starting to see a pattern in this series, in which the first half is somewhat tiresome, only to have the story take off like blazes in the second half.

I will likely read the next in the series, but I'll be okay waiting for it to come available at my library.
