It's a new month... time for some new bug fixes!
While Matt is still working on harnessing the book data that we all have contributed to, and making it available for searches, he's also been rather busy fixing other things, and even adding some nifty little features. Read all about it in this Announcements forum post.
HELLS BELLE
2 journalers for this copy...
Picked up at the SA.
Edited 10/14/06 - putting in romance VBB.
Amazon.com review:
"Hell's Belle" takes place in Dallas, Texas, where Homicide Detective Rachel Collazo is trying to solve a possible murder case. The suspect is Kelly McLaughlin, an ultra-sexy nurse who tends cancer patients in their homes and has a knack for seducing married men, killing them and their wives, and getting away with it scot-free. Until now.
The story is pretty lively and fast-paced, plus the chapters are short, which is always nice for me since I break after chapters. However, the book is wasted with sex. Not just a little hanky-panky every 25 pages or so, but explicit affairs practically every other chapter (there are 75 chapters; you do the math). It really did the book a disservice, I thought, although some people (mostly men) will probably wholeheartedly disagree. The pursuit of a killer was what propelled me to finish this book, not counting the notches on Kelly's garter belt (if and when she wore one).
"Hell's Belle" definitely had potential to be a great suspense novel, even among all the sexually depraved nonsense. However, I'd only recommend this book to readers who love sleaze over police work.

Removed from the Romance VBB by Meshe. Mailing on Monday. Happy reading! :)
Just finished this one and can only say Hell' Belle is very appropriate. We knew who the murderer was but not if she was going to be caught. I enjoyed Rachel's boxing and the bits of humor that were throughout the book. I felt a little let down at the end. It all wrapped up too quickly. It was okay, but won't likely have me running out for more works by this author.
Plan to leave this one at the book exchange shelf at work on Monday.
