Once in awhile a book so bad comes along that I just have to say so. This is that once in awhile. Don’t bother. First, I made the mistake of trying out #3 in a series which really is a series. Second, it has too much romance for me (although there really isn’t that much). Third, the narrator’s voice was grating. It was all I could do to finish

Don’t bother – a bit of murder and mayhem amongst the lobster fishermen of northern Maine – heavy family involvement along with the ownership of a restaurant (of sorts). But the season is over and there’s not much money being made. Nevertheless, Julia, who works in the city, finds herself wanting to stay basically because of a guy named Chris. Then a body is found beneath one of the boats. And another man goes missing and a woman is poisoned. It gets complicated.
I always appreciate a warning about a book that will be a waste of time. Life is too short to read bad books.

You bet! And sometimes a reader has to go through some yuk to get to the goodies.

Yes indeed, I’m all in favour of robust reviewing.
And you’ve been fair, you’ve given your reasons:)

Thank you – I really try not to read yukkie books but once in awhile – oops! (Actually, I usually don’t finish them if they’re really stupid – so there’s no review.)
