Hi Ian, I don't know how far you got, but, as I said, it did get better as it went on.

She was said to have written a classic English detective story. In that case, the classic English detective story isn't my cup of tea. I found the plot pedestrian and the characters shallow. Most of all I couldn't find any reason for me to be interested in who had killed the first victim because there was nothing to draw me in. I'm probably in a minority of one here, sorry. One other thing it said at the top of the book was that she'd put her typing skills to better use and turned to writing books. that's exactly how it felt. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alan Russell" <al.russell12@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <electrobooks@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, April 25, 2009 7:44 PM Subject: [electrobooks] Re: Unlucky for Some > Well, I for one enjoyed the book.
