“Gracie C. McKeever (c) September 2009
Eiliza Tahan is an Assistant Editor at J Press who becomes the suspect in the murder of her less-than stellar and bitchy boss when said boss turns up the victim of a vehicular wreck with an author's rejection letter left at the scene. And Eliza is the one who signs all the rejection letters. So is she the next victim or is she the culprit?
Eliza also has a tragic past that affects her a lot more than she thinks and until she digs deeper and deeper on her own into who might have been responsible for first her boss's death and now her roommate's accident, she thought she was doing a good job of taking care of herself and healing.
The first-person narrative was an instant turn-off for me, but I guess I should have been prepared since a lot of mysteries and whodunits are written in this style. I couldn't really relate to Eliza, she didn't have the greatest chemistry with Adam (and since I didn't get his point of view, I couldn't relate much to Adam either), thus I didn't connect with the characters as much as I would have liked.
Overall, this was an okay romantic whodunit with the ending and final reveal a real surprise I didn't see coming and the saving grace of the book. Otherwise, I probably would have given it a two. ”
