Death in a Hot Flash

Unfortunately, this book was a DNF for me.

I picked it up because I was drawn to the fact that it was a cozy mystery featuring a fifty-something amateur sleuth, who also happens to be a professor.

I put it down, honestly, because of the writing style. I think that it would really be something that some people would enjoy, but there is a lot (a lot) of alliteration (among other things). While I enjoy some of that, this was really over the top for my tastes. I couldn't even focus on the story because I was too distracted by how much the style wasn't appealing to me.

That being said, I'm sure that some people would really love this. I could see the style being something that appealed to some readers as much as I found it unappealing.
