Popped by Carol Higgins Clark
By Karen onI have read a number of the Regan Reilly Mysteries by Carol Higgins Clark, and for the most part I rather enjoyed them.But the last few books I have read in this series have left me disappointed.
Popped is one of these books.Regan Reilly, private investigator, is off to Las Vegas to help a friend, Danny, who is competing in a contest and having some problems.Danny is producing a reality show that is in direct competition with a sitcom, and only one of these shows will actually be aired.But things are going wrong and Danny needs Regan's help in finding out what is happening and why.
This story has a weak plot, and the characters aren't much better.Regan herself has her moments when she seems a little inept and is more or less along for the ride, rather than actually helping solve a mystery.I did not enjoy this book the way I had hoped I would and was glad to finish it.
If you are looking for very light reading and a plot that really is not all that interesting, you might enjoy this book.I myself think I will go back to reading the novels of Mary Higgins Clark, Carol's mother.I really enjoy those mysteries much more.
