What a stupid novel, what a totally unlikeable, lazy, bad-work-ethic main character. Wow - really disappointed. I got to chapter 3 and when she got upset because her supervisors were going to watch tapes that might include her practically mapping in the stock room when she was supposed to be attempting to assist a customer, got upset that her boss was killed and that might crimp her plans, and she specifically avoided a store customer who needed help - not that the customer had any redeeming qualities herself - I just had to quit. Is the author a 20-something with this same attitude, one of "I am me, therefore you should fall down and worship me, my $700 purse, and my massive piles of debt incurred while buying things such as the aforementioned $700 purse and others like it? If so, no thanks, I get enough of that in my classroom and at the local mall. Angst is overrated and boring. Why read about a protagonist who has no redeeming qualities. Simply, I didn't like the main character, was bored with the plot, and had no idea where to turn, so I quit. Some books I'm embarrassed to admit that I read and this is one of them. But I want to get it on my list to remind myself not to read any more in the series. The main character, Haley was completely unlikable; shallow, lazy, dumb and irresponsible with money. I enjoy a well written chic-lit mystery but this was not it. I figured out the two "mysteries" long before she did and I kept saying to her "you were set up because they knew you were stupid!" Near the end when she also figured it out she asked "Why me?" and she went on to say "because I'm stupid." On that we agree.
Do You like book Handbags And Homicide (2008)?
The story was fun, but the language and conversation was more adult than what I usually like
