Summary: disappointing
Comment: I have read nearly all of Amanda Quick's novels and to be sure, "Slightly Shady" is a disappointment. Usually her characters, both hero & heroine, are endearing and memorable, but these lacked spunk! Tobias, the "hero" was rather dull and Lavinia, the heroine, was a complainer. Both were characters I wouldn't care to know.
Also, Quick tried to write a deep mystery but forgot the romance! Where do the characters stand at the end of the book!
I miss the characters of "Mistress" and "Reckless", my two favorite of Quick's novels. Where is your old style?

Summary: Slightly Shady
Comment: It started so well. It was funny. The characters were likeable. Tobias and Lavinia are displaying some attraction for one another. Then . . . there's the painfully predictable "carriage" scene. The murder plot became so convoluted in its solution, I feared I'd be confessing next. By the time the second short, choppy, terribly unromantic love scene rolled around, I'd literally forgotten I was reading a romance. Tobias, likeable fellow, came off as a rather inept detective. I'm glad I checked this out of the library instead of buying it.

Summary: average
Comment: This is my first Amanda Quick book, I've heard so much about her, and read her reviews on my favorite books that I tried one of her books. For me, Slightly Shady is the kind of book that u can read when there's nothing more available. It's not boring nor it is hooking. This is one of those books that u can put down after reading a paragraph or so. It is not laugh out loud funny but u can see the author's attempt on comedy. The mystery is a little predictable. The twist on the ending is not original. All in all, I'm not totally disappointed. From reading her other reviews in her other novels, I know this is not her best, so I'm giving her another chance.
