Chiseled

This author definitely seems to have a formula and uses the same one every single time. It's a little irritating that you can predict what will happen. The handywoman will always find the dead body, always. Then, the police will come and not think it's strange at all that she found another body. Next the police will drag an innocent person to jail and say they have evidence. As that person is being hauled off to jail they look at this handywoman and ask her to help them. “You've got to help me handywoman! I didn't kill them!” So then she is honor bound. She goes around asking questions and basically asking the killer to come after her (going alone when no one knows where) and then her cop boyfriend comes in at the last minute and saves her.

I will say though, that once I got past the irritating predictable part the story started to get more interesting and it didn't seem as short as the other books. I got sucked into the story and all of a sudden I realized I was enjoying it. This one was a bit better than the previous books even though the author doesn't seem to understand what a “smirk” is. Definition of smirk: smile in an irritatingly smug, conceited, or silly way. “a weary smirk” just doesn't sound right.
