Book Review of Downfall (Joanna Brady, Bk 17)

Downfall (Joanna Brady, Bk 17)
reviewed on + 3152 more book reviews


I tried this series several years ago, notice I said 'tried'

I didn't make it even half way into this book, slow slow slow drag drag drag

Her parents died in an auto accident--ok move on we don't need that on every page

She has to plan the funeral without her brother--ok move on we don't need that on every other page

She is 8 months pregnant--ok move on we don't need to be told that on every page

She has an incompetent deputy--ok move one we don't need to know on every page

She didn't have a good relationship with her Mother--ok move on what does that have to do with this story?

She is made to sound like 'supercop' for the things she does at 8 months pregnant? really? no cop that far along is going to do the things she does--unbelievable!

I read on the Amazon reviews that the second half is a little better, IF you can make it that far, if you can get through the slow draggy boring first half

No wonder I gave up on this series
