A Sinister Sense: A Raven's Nest Bookstore Mystery
by Allison Kingsley
1.5 stars. If you took out all the "I knooooooooow he's innocent!" and the "OMG everyone saaaays he's guilllty!" the book would be about 5 pages long. I mean, JFC, even Molly is first on the HE DID IT bandwagon, so apparently her ordeal in the first book is long forgotten. There's humility for you. Clara is a prime candidate for Dr. Phil. I get it, you got dumped, but the continued harping on lack of trust in the opposite sex isn't endearing, it's just annoying.
I thought there was too much inner dialogue and I found myself flipping through several pages at a time. Half of every chapter was taken up with the MC's anguish over her "Sense". Jesus, get over it already. The rest of the characters, despite the ample descriptions, still manage to lack depth.
Underneath all the claptrap, there's a good story in there, which saved the book from being completely terrible. So, my rating is halfway between hate it and didn't piss me off.
