review 1: I've read (or tried to read) six in this series. I should have liked them a lot. After all, I like cozies, more or less. I like interior design and architecture. I like women heroines. So what's not to like? Well, the two main characters, for one. I don't feel the "spark" between them that everybody seems to see, including them. I don't like the snide tone that seems to be constant. I don't like the plots (you can see the author saying, what would make this more convoluted?). I don't like characters who smirk.
review 2: This is the first book I've read in this series and it is okay. I would not say it is poorly written, but I did not fall in love with the main characters. It is almost too realistic at times with Erin's inner thoughts. But, she's much more girly... more than I am so I did not really connect with her. I don't know that I want to go back and read this series from the beginning. I fear that it's a Stephanie Plum-like scenario where Gilbert and Sullivan are "made for each other" but that their romance has trouble getting off the ground and never really gets anywhere. In fact, that is a strong reason I may have disconnected from the story in the first place. It's just something that doesn't work for me. I'm not really sure what to say about the mystery. It was a little odd and the reveal seemed a little uneven. It felt delayed and rushed all at the same time. Very odd to me. Oh well. The book didn't suck, but I'm not sure I'm going to read any others in this series. less
