Pushing Up Daisies by M.C. Beaton
*NO SPOILERS*
After finishing this book, I realized that I should have
never bought it. This was my first time reading a detective novel, and if all
of them are like this one, Then I don’t want to read this genre anymore. This
book is the 27th in a series, but can be read as a stand-alone. I
only bought this book because I had a coupon for a mystery novel from Barnes
and Nobel, and the cover was pretty. Soon after I started reading I came to the
conclusion that it was an British mystery novel. As I am from the USA, I didn’t
understand some of the slang words used. The writing style really bothered me,
because the author would switch the POV’s in the middle of a paragraph and nothing
really fit together and the story didn’t flow right. It was really annoying
trying to figure out who’s point of view it was, and then separating the
setting to fit their different situations. This whole book read like a
soap-opera with too many side stories to keep up with everything. In addition
to all of this, there were so many inappropriate relationships that were disgusting
and unnecessary. There were 12 chapters in total that were super long and hard
to get through. I was disappointed I didn’t like it, but I never had any
expectations for it anyway. If it weren’t for Booktube-A-Thon I would have DNFd
this book in the first two chapters.
