My 1 star review of Chocolate Surprise & Murder (An Oceanside Cozy Mystery #41) by Susan Gillard :-

Spoiler:

The first dud of the year didn't take long in coming. It helps if you're reading a lot. Well, well, well, that was a waste of time. Atrociously written, with a lot of poor grammar.

But that was not the reason for the 1 star. The story was dumb and boring. There are stories that are dumb but not boring, mysteries such as The Big Four, but there was no creativity from the writer for this book.

I would ditch any story I'd write if they were as bad as this. Its high rating does indicate that the writer got away scot free. That's a bummer but what's good news is that the series will never enter mainstream consciousness.
