“MOBBED” By Carol Higgins Clark
A PI Regan Reilly Mystery
2011 Book Review #71Publishers Weekly Review
In Clark 's 14th mystery featuring New York City
Nora is concerned about eccentric 78-year-old Edna Frawley, who's sold her house on the Jersey shore and is about to hold a big garage sale. The sale's prize items are personal possessions of movie actress, Cleo Paradise, who recently rented the house, then left suddenly with a note to Edna authorizing her to do whatever she wanted with whatever was left behind.
Life imitates art as a stalker begins leaving Cleo dead flowers, just as in her latest film, ‘You Don't Bring Me Flowers, Alive or Dead’. The action shifts perspectives to introduce a legion of people who wish the star dead. Cleo is so underdeveloped that few will be waiting with bated breath for the identification of the creep threatening her.
My Thoughts: I’ve read most of Carol Clark’s books and this one was not as well developed as most of the others. I listened to it on audio book and probably would not have finished it if I had been reading it. I kept waiting for the action to pick up.
