What's the difference between a bad skydiver and a bad golfer?
A bad golfer goes, WHACK, "Damn!"
A bad skydiver goes, "Damn!" WHACK.
Is your Monday a little brighter now? (heh heh)
This is one of many bad (but very fun) jokes in Designed to Die
by Chloe Green. I just found this mystery series and am liking it very much. The protagonist is a fashion stylist, which provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of fashion with its delicious clothes, high price tags, and intriguing people. I wish Green would pack even more fashion detail into these books -- it's one of the best parts.Also fun is the flirtation among characters, which provides sexual heat without explicit detail. After some of Laurell K. Hamilton's latest, this is a refreshing change. Not that I'm against sexual detail in books. (Mom, don't read this!) If it's hot, bring it on. But sometimes it's good just to have a hint.
The mystery aspect is fairly unbelievable, and I wished for more development of some of the characters, but I'd still recommend this book as a fun read, or even better, a fun listen. C. J. Critt does the audiobook, and she's absolutely perfect for it. Mom, see if you can get this for your trip. (I knew you were still reading!)

I'm going to wandering around repeating "damn. whack!" to myself and giggling like a madwoman.
Thanks for sharing this! (and the book review too - always interested in what other people are reading...)
OK, you caught me - I did read to the end. I wrote down Chloe Green's name in my page of authors to look up tomorrow at the local library AND then I finished reading your blog. Too late, and I had already been on your wave length about putting it on my list. Scarey!
