1.0 out of 5 stars Rambling, 28 Sep 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Widows Club (Mass Market Paperback)
The summary on the cover of the book sounded really interesting. I expected the story to be both intriguing and amusing. Instead, I found that it rambled on and, like a previous reviewer, I skipped pages, hoping to find an interesting chapter. The author tries too hard to make the 2 lady detectives sound quaint, but only succeeds in making them irritating. I got so bored with the story that I failed to finish reading the book. And I didn't even care what I would have missed!

2.0 out of 5 stars I really wanted to like this book..., 21 Sep 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Widows Club (Mass Market Paperback)
since I loved her first one, The Thin Woman. I jumped into The Widow's Club with two feet and found that it was disjointed and plain boring. The plot had potential, but Ms. Cannell rambled on at such length that I found myself skimming pages and wondering when it would be over. I was disappointed in this book. Only the last ten pages were at all worth my time, but that may have been simply because I saw a light at the end of the tunnel.

2.0 out of 5 stars Indigestible prose mars plot, 7 July 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: The Widows Club (Mass Market Paperback)
I found the prose style of this book to be disjointed, jumpy, and choppy. It is definitely not the clean, clear, direct, stick-to-business prose of say, Agatha Christie. The writing is not smooth. The "plot" or story line seems to get lost at times; it becomes rambling, episodic, and seemingly endless. At times, it reads like a "bodice ripper" instead of a mystery. It is told in the first person by Ellie Haskell, interrupted by occasional comments from the Tramwell sisters. But would Ellie really tell her most personal and intimate thoughts to the Tramwells--complete strangers? I think not.
