Don't forget to click here for my blog about Casey. She has been really enjoying the e-mails, stories, jokes and pictures everyone has been sending!
Death on the Flop by Jackie Chance is the first book that was sent to me to review by the publisher since I started this blog, so I kept it near the top of my pile so I would get to it soon. The bottom line...it's not my cuppa tea! I know there is a huge market for the $6.99 paperback mystery...especially if it has a cool female protagonist and an interesting draw, like the tie-in with Texas Hold 'em. So I wanted to like it. I love Texas Hold 'em...like Las Vegas. But it just didn't draw me in and didn't hold me.
This book would be OK for light, mindless reading...but I have Entertainment Weekly and Go Fug Yourself for that. And just for the record, when I DO read light mysteries, I like the murder to happen sometime before I reach the halfway point of the book.
And that's about all I have to say about that!
