Give Jance Another Chance? Opinions, Please ...
Lots of people love J.A. Jance and since she's a local author who writes books set in Arizona, I thought I should give her a try. Only, I kind of wish I hadn't. It's possible Edge of Evil, the first novel in the author's Ali Reynolds series, was just the wrong book for me, but I had a hard time getting past the stereotypical characters, the predictable storyline, the unrealistic plot twists and the stale writing. All of those things turned me off of this much-lauded Arizona author. Maybe I'm being too critical (who, me?) - what do y'all think? Should I give Jance another chance? Convince me and I will. Otherwise, it ain't gonna happen.
(Readalikes: Reminded me a little of Mary Higgins Clark's books)
Grade: C-
If this were a movie, it would be rated: PG-13 for language (no F-bombs) and sexual innuendo
To the FTC, with love: Another library fine find
