★☆☆☆☆
Slow book with a ludicrous plot line and a very bad ending
As many reviewers have already written, the plot is LUDICROUS and the tea scene at the end is absolutely MADDENING. This book was slow and I was sort of shocked when the murder happened at about 50% of the book (I read it on my Kindle so I don't know page numbers.) I thought to myself "How are they going to fill up the rest of this book?" And I was spot on: this book could've ended at the 50% mark and I would've liked it more. On the plus side: it's an easy read that you can finish on a domestic flight. How they are going to turn this into a movie is beyond me. No doubt, it will be a boring movie. Basically, here's the book so you can save your money (there are no real spoilers): 0%: Meet Nora 5%: Start ludicrous plot line 10%: Meet a motley crew of annoying characters 25%: Tequila and cocaine 50%: Murder (an alcohol and drug-fueled murder? Ruh roh!) 60%: Nora can't remember what happened. 70%: Nora still can't remember what happened. 80%: "Oh why, oh why, can't I remember what happened?" asks Nora. 90%: Eureka, Nora remembers what happened! 95%: Nora's having tea with the murderer because killing someone sure makes me thirsty for some Earl Grey. 100%: Thank God this book is over.
