A Little Class on Murder- Carolyn Hart

As I've mentioned before, I usually read several books at a time. I almost always read e-books, but have a paper book for the bath.

This was my bath-tub book this month.....



My apologies to those who may have liked it, but I hated this book.

A professor comes up to a random person and asks them to teach a class on mysteries for a college journalism department?
That seems a bit implausible.

I also found the main character whiny, immature, and judgmental.

Phrases such as "this girl knows her mysteries" (used repeatly) made me cringe. I had the culprit figured out by the middle of the book..... not to mention the unnecessary use of crude language.

It was a tedious read. I don't know why I even finished it! lol

I haven't been reading as much lately as I did this summer- which is unusual because I normally read more in the winter. lol

I'm currently reading Teri Blackstock's "Last Light" series, which I got for FREE on my Kindle a few weeks ago.
Hopefully the reading bug will bite me soon and I'll have more to add to this blog. :)
