The downside to an author glom is that recycled plot lines are way more obvious. I just finished reading Exposure and the similarities between this book and that one are legion. I probably wouldn't have liked this book even if I hadn't just read the other, but I might have been inclined to give it another star.
I have to say this though, that it isn't necessary to print character accents. It's annoying and distracting. If the character is from Atlanta and is described as having a southern twang, if a person has heard that accent before they are probably capable of applying that without the text having to read "Why, Ah do dehclay-er" instead of "Why, I do declare". If you haven't actually heard the accent then it's just plain weird (obvs show more this is not just southern accents, this applies to whatever else have you). It's something I've seen in numerous books, and I hate it. HATE it. I will tolerate an occasional dropped g or whatever, but the rest of it makes me want to hulk-smash. show less
