The Characters Weren't Given Enough Plot
|
Andrea Kendricks was looking forward to a nice relaxing Saturday alone. However, one of her mother's best friends, Bebe Kent, has died, and "Andy" gets talked into attending the memorial service to be Cissy's moral support. After the service, Andy learns that Cissy thinks her friend was murdered. Clearly, Cissy's grief is affecting her mental health.
Bebe had recently moved into the Belle Meade, a plush retirement community for the extremely rich. When another resident is found dead, Cissy again finds the normal looking circumstances suspicious. Could she be right?
Having read the previous two books in the series, I expected the plot of the book to be a little slow right out of the gate. However, I wasn't prepared for this. The plot moved forward with glacial speed, with too much of it being revealed on the back of the book. Frankly, the back of the book may be my complaint more then anything else. I love Andy and Cissy, so I was highly disappointed by the lack of development. One of Andy's childhood friends makes an appearance, and I loved learning more about Andy from their interactions.
Die hard fans of the series will still enjoy reading the book. But don't bother reading if you don't love the characters.
