A review by carolwk
Mortal Arts by Anna Lee Huber

1.0

I don't often laugh out loud at bad writing, but there's an entire page where the main character sits squirming in her chair without speaking during a conversation. Was there an editor for this? And I don't think I've ever read a mystery where you literally knew "whodunit" as soon as you read the mention a person was missing, even before the revelation that something had been "dun." About halfway through, I stopped actually reading and just paged through to the end to confirm that it wrapped up the way I thought it would. Such a pity, because the main character of this series had promise. I can only conclude the favorable ratings are plants written by employees of the publisher or friends of the author.
