I suspect you're not a fan of "cozy" mysteries. Am I right? |
I was trying to be polite!
I seem to have gone off mysteries altogether, although I used to inhale them.
Part of what I didn't care for in Bruno was the "quaint peasantry" schtick, which irritates me. I mentioned Peter Mayle in my review and that's not a positive, for me. However, I freely admit that generally speaking, my response is an aberrant one, although those who disliked it seem to have similar objections. I'm also willing to acknowledge that the series as a whole, not atypically, might have improved on a rocky start. But it's the whole so many books, so little time syndrome at work; I'm not likely to pursue a series after an indifferent first experience.
Sorry, Charlie! Only the best tuna.... Oops, kinda went off the rails there.
