Larger Than Death

by Lynne Murray

I got this book from a friend. She had read it, then passed it along. I have to admit, it drew my interest in because of the plump heroine. It's true. I'm a sucker for fat chicks. What can I say? Now, I'm not usually the murder/mystery book reader, but hey, why not give it a try? After all, I dig James Patterson.

The first 2/3 of the book, I really felt kind of bored. I wasn't sucked in at all. The prose was choppy and the characters (especially the heroine, who I wanted more depth) were underdeveloped. I don't know. I was just feeling mediocre about it. But, then that last 3rd of the book, it started to flow a little better. The storyline picked up and held my interest.

All in all, I liked the idea of the book's (fat, sexy, smart) heroine. But, it didn't flow well for me or make me want to rush to read it. I wouldn't re-read this book and I doubt I'd pick up another of the author's books. Just not my cup of tea. (I did pass it along, however)

1/2
