I bought it in September 2009, at Books-a-Million. The author was at a table just inside the store, and I stopped to talk to him. When I told him I like mysteries, he recommended [b:Hurricane Party|2274278|Hurricane Party (Susan Chase Mystery)|Steve Brown|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1266690701s/2274278.jpg|2280301] and I had him autograph it to me. You would think that having an autographed book would encourage me to read it right away, but for some reason or another I put it away.
I pulled it out for the October Mini-Challenge of Cozy Mysteries. I needed to read a book I already owned, and this was the only unread one I could find. I wanted to like it (it has my name in it, y'all!), and I kept plugging away at it, hoping it would get better but, alas, it never did.
It's a murder mystery that takes place during a Hurricane Party along the SC Grand Strand. As I was reading it, I realized I didn't care about any of the characters (who were dropping like flies, or barometric pressure). Definitely not a cozy mystery, to me. Perhaps readers who like "un-cozy" mysteries will enjoy it. It is the fifth in the Susan Chase series. ( )
