Chutes And Adders A Robin Light Mystery Partners in Crime Barbara Block 9780821749975 Books Reviews

With a Punny title like that, I expected a book with a little humor in it. I was wrong. This book is dark, depressing, and not very engaging. Robin Light is taking over her dead husband's pet store. He died, not from a nice heart attack, but from a cocaine overdose. That sort of sets the tone for the whole book. I know some people like their mysteries to explore the darker side of human nature, but I just want to be entertained. I finally gave up. I skipped ahead so I know whodunnit, but really, by then, I didn't care.
Sorry to say I stopped reading halfway through when the action became too repetitious and tiresome. This is a bit of an exaggeration but at the point I stopped, in just about every other chapter, the protagonist stumbles upon the dead body of a previously introduced character; is afraid she'll be blamed for that murder; seems to totally ignore the fact that the real murderer may still be lurking around; pokes around a bit, then hurries away before the police arrive; doesn't really seem to be shaken up by what just happened (she tells herself she is, but I didn't buy it as a reader); goes home, eats some chocolate bars, then goes out again for the next piece of action. I also didn't buy the opening premise that, immediately and for little apparent reason, the protagonist becomes the police's main suspect when one of the staff is murdered in the protagonist's pet shop.
Great book read it in high school. Had to reread it.
