The Kill Point
 Pressed to Kill (Center Point Premier Mystery (Largeprint)) $31.95 I've read that this is the last book in this series. If that's the case, the series really went out on a bad note. For the entire book, I kept trying to figure out why Mandy was involved in this whole thing. One of her customers was killed and Mandy was afraid it was by someone she'd met at her cleaners. How exactly was this a threat to her livelihood or any of her business? She came off as a nosy buttinsky and a complete idiot running around making suspect lists and checking up on people, then calling the cops with idiotic things like "I starched his jeans, please go bring him in for questioning." The whole thing was ludicrous. And, to make matters worse, we had the return of Mandy's annoying mother, who really served no purpose other than to bother everyone. With such a good supporting cast that includes Mack, Betty, Nat and all the employees of the cleaners, I don't know why we keep having this over-the-top character show up. I loved "Taking The Wrap," which I read recently after a long absence from the series. I really wanted to like this one, especially if this is the end for Mandy and Dyer's Cleaners. I was disappointed that I didn't.  The Kill Point $19.98 I can watch this over and over. DDub is outstanding as usual and soooo hot to look at. Great script/story line. love it! |
