Dear Nita Prose,
For a good example of a narrator who doesn’t understand social cues, read Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine and try harder.
P. S. Do you think it’s likely that a person being questioned by the police would, when asked about another person, sit there and think about every conversation they had with them, taking about six pages to do so? I don’t.
P. P. S. I did not finish reading your book.

THANK YOU for my LAUGH-OUT-LOUD for the day! An absolutely sterling review!!! 😉
As I may have told you, I rarely read fiction books with more than 250 pages any more. My god, when you’ve been reading for 70 years, you’ve read every plot with every kind of character in every kind of prose, you hardly need a novel with six pages of police-suspect repartee.
Again, thanks to you, another book I don’t have to read.

Aha! You must be another geezer like me! I would say I’ve been reading for 65 years, anyway! Thanks for the compliment! I always find the snarky reviews easier to write. I guess that makes me not so nice.
An interesting take on a generally popular book. I’ve looked at this a couple of times, with the idea that I might read it. I’m still thinking it over, however!
I know it’s popular, but if you look at the Goodreads review, you’ll see some people saying the same things.
Hahaha, so… not recommended, then? 😉
Nope
I love snarky reviews on popular books. Even if I’ve read that book and thought it was entertaining. Lol
I’m sure you’re right, though, about Molly’s portrayal. What I liked about her was how much she loved her job!
Ouch!
