A review by csnurr
The Julius House by Charlaine Harris
2.0
I forgot that I really don’t like this series. The writing is so backward it feels like this should be set in the 50s instead of 1996, when this book was written.
Aurora spends way too much time obsessing over her marriage to a man she knows nothing about but stays married for vague reasons like “this man is my sweetheart” when he hasn’t told her the truth once since they’ve known one another. It doesn’t help that this book is way more focused on Aurora FINALLY (she’s in her early thirties????) getting married instead of the mystery. The mystery only takes up about 15% of this book and that’s just not enough to make this book worthwhile.
