With a title like The Rock and Roll Queen of Bedlam, youd expect the book to be a work of Rock Fiction, right? Add in a mention on the back blurb of the fact that our heroine, Allegra, has a thing for karaoke and hello? That name!! and yeah. Youd expect a rock novel. Its not that unreasonable.

Ha. Not even close. This is one of those madcap, hapless tales of an amateur sleuth. Theres no rock here. Heck, theres barely a mention of the karaoke nights.

In that respect, its quite disappointing.

In every other respect, this is one fun read. Allegras a great heroine. Its easy to root for her. And Sloan is one heck of a hunky foil. The plot isnt the most original, but its one that holds you throughout. Im definitely going to be keeping an eye out for more from author Marilee Brothers.

It may not be a Rock Novel. But its a West of Mars Recommended Read.
