Literary Disappointment(s)

After enjoying Mary Kay Zurvaleff's "The Bowl is Already Broken" so much, I had great hopes for her earlier, first novel, "The Frequency of Souls". Alas, half way through I gave up. The characters (two refrigerator engineers having an affair) left me cold.

Earlier, I had given up on another book, well before half way. That was "A Very Different Plot", one of William F. Buckley's mysteries starring Blackford Oakes, his normal (apparently) hero. Not bad, but boring, boring, boring. What? William Buckley boring? Yawn
