Hi Darra,
I just finished Unholy Mischief. I have mixed feelings about it.
I LIKED :
- the author's talent for description. This lady is great at painting the word picture so that you "see" the scene and feel like you're actually in this chef's kitchen looking at his food.
-the suspense of the story, although you can kind of see where it's going and dread what you know will happen, but the "getting there" is interesting
I disliked:
- the way the background information is given to the reader, mostly in the first half of the book. The author jumped back and forth from present to past to present, etc. It made the story a little confusing and gave a disjointed feel, in my opinion.
I have read more books these past few months about religion, the Catholic church, Christianity, Mary Magdalene, gnostic gospels, etc. than I've read in a long, long time. My daughter and I were talking about this last night: is it a trend for authors to be more outspoken about their negativity to the church, or is it just books I happen to pick up? Hmmmm, I wonder.
