A review by paulmslima
Played to Death by B.V. Lawson

1.0

A PI inherits an old, unused opera house in a small town. He goes there to meet a client. When he gets there the client is dead -- murdered. The PI stays in the town to solve the murder. A few days later, the client's wife is murdered. Sounds intriguing, no? No. Was quite boring. The PI talks to a lot of people; a lot of people are suspect. But I'm really not sure why. All the characters are two-dimensional and the conversation is wooden. There is serious flirtation with the wife of a town councillor that is as hot as a cold plate of spaghetti, and goes nowhere. By time we get to the reveal I was barely scanning the pages to get through the book. Not my cuppa, and I like a good murder mystery. This did nothing for me.
