6/10/2023 0 Comments A Killer Plot by Ellery Adams![]() ![]() ![]() I am always on the prowl for a new author and new series and this one is not it. Her voicing of the main character's twin boys had me cringing. Her voicing of the "Aunt" involves bugling and trumpeting like a Brit Royal. ![]() The narrator is over the top with her "performance". I could NOT suspend belief long enough to get into any of this. And even though I enjoy a fluffy story, a good fantasy and fun-fiction. The characters are over the top in their silly declarations and grandiose speech. Auntie gets custom made gowns (often!) and the hotel amenities and restaurants surpass that of any other 5-star hotel. (or two) The hotel is supposedly falling apart and they are short of cash, yet there are Rolls- Royces (yes, more than one) available for guests. What I found was a ridiculous plot line with ex-super secret service employees, an Aunt with zero impulse control (who is supposedly in charge of one of the world's GREATEST treasures), a milktoast uncle who actually has ninja skills and a Deputy Dawg police Chief who feels the need to consult with a hotel manager to solve a murder. I made it to the halfway point before I gave up on this book. ![]()
