Book Reviews of Murder Melts in Your Mouth (Blackbird Sisters Mysteries, No. 7)
Book Review: Nora needs to grow a backbone
Summary: 2 Stars
Seventh in the series, Nora's character still does not stand up to the people in her life. Friends, parents, and, mostly, her sisters continually take advantage of her.
The character dynamics are beginning to get stale. How many times will the author have Mick & Nora get together and break up, get together and break up, get together and break up? It happens in every book and sometimes more than once in the same story.
Other authors have had female characters who are not strong in standing up for themselves, but this usually works itself out by the 3rd or 4th book in the series. But here we are, seven books into this series, and Nora is still a wimp of a character.
Everyone is a caricature. I expected that by now the author would be comfortable enough with her characters to allow them to change a little. But no -- Emma is always after every man in sight & continues to drink to excess. Libby is sexually on the prowl & foists her 5 children off on to Nora as often as possible. Nora's job continues to be in jeopardy, murders still comes her way, and retro designer clothing still stars. I can't suspend my disbelief any more.
For me, this will be the last book I read in this series. They're boring. They're predictable. They're not even light reading fun anymore.
Summary of Murder Melts in Your Mouth (Blackbird Sisters Mysteries, No. 7)
The new Blackbird Sisters mystery from the bestselling author of A Crazy Little Thing Called Death.Down-to-earth debutante Nora Blackbird is having a meltdown-and it isn't because of Philadelphia's heat wave, or an overdose at the city's Chocolate Festival. A noted Philly philanthropist has taken a swan dive from an office balcony-and Nora's friend Lexie stands accused of the murder. Then Nora's scheming parents reappear, sending all three Blackbird sisters into a panic. Now Nora must uncover the scandalous hijinks her parents are plotting-before she winds up taking all the heat and strangling her father with his own ascot.
