Book Reviews of Stalemate (Eve Duncan)
Book Review: What The Devil
Summary: 2 Stars
That's what Eve says about 1,950 times in this silly silly story, "What the devil?" I thought I might scream the next time she said "What the devil!" but managed to contain myself because I have house guests. Eve also often says "What the hell?", "Oh my God," "Good God," "Jesus!" and sometimes just "Christ!" Why the religious cursing hang-up?? This is the first book featuring Eve and Joe that I've read, and it will be my last, for I don't like either of them at all and this story was way too far-fetched and ridiculous with truly stupid motivation. The writing is bad to mediocre and the dialogue is unreal and dull at best. I've read a couple other Iris Johansen's but when I bought this, couldn't remember if I liked her or not... now I know I must not've, if this is typical of her imagination and output. It reads like a very bad romance novel but thankfully without any throbbing pulsating members and ripped bodices, just unrequited hormone goings-on as the sub-plot. All I can say to Iris Johansen is, What the devil, woman, get real!
