essjay 's review for:

Pancakes and Corpses by Agatha Frost
0.5

Reads like a first draft (and given the fact that the author dropped the first ten books in this series in less than a year, it probably was). Hugely predictable in every way, poorly edited (not in the sense of misspellings, but wonky sentence structure and overuse of words that any editor worth their salt would have caught), and boring. At least it was short. By the time I had decided to quit reading, I was almost halfway through, so I decided to waste the half hour necessary to see if I was right. I was. 

And why the fuck do so many cozies have their protagonists lusting after cops? I'm to the point where I refuse to read any others with LEO love interests.  Yuck.
