![]() Honestly, it was a lot of why I enjoyed the book – the writing really sang out of the pages (no pun intended) (actually, yes… pun intended, fuck it.) The humor in this book was very tongue in cheek and a lot of the characters were bouncing off each other with lines. This was my first L.J Shen novel and damn…You get a lot of stigma against erotica and new adult for lack of substance in the writing but just wait until you get a load of this author. ![]() If you are a romance reader, or a fan of the New Adult genre then you will probably enjoy this too (if you haven’t already read it) ![]() But as I said, I really genuinely enjoyed it. I just can’t get myself to give this more than 3 stars. Maybe it was all the hype that I thought this was going to be another killer. ![]() But unfortunately, those aspects were not as reoccurring as I would have liked. There was some aspects to this story that made me laugh out loud and swoon and all that jazz. “The most important dance you’ll have in your life is one that does not require music.” ![]()

![]() ![]() This is a very emotionally positive relationship that's easy despite the conservatism they’re surrounded by. I like how Greg wants to be a positive influence on Justin, but isn’t going overboard with it. When a rocket explodes with a super secret payload on board, a man is found dead inside the mouth of an alligator not far away. I did want a bit of an epilogue though, just to further cement the relationship, but otherwise I really enjoyed this one. The romance was slow and sweet in building while the murder mystery truly was a mystery right up until the very end. Also, the love interest, Big Mac, was pretty lovable right from the start. Slightly creepy, as basement murders tend to be, this had great characters from the elderly lesbian chef and her wife to the young, impressionable youth trying to make kimchi in secret.

However, both he and his friend, Captain Arthur Hastings, are surprised to learn that Lord Edgeware had already informed his estranged wife of his willingness to grant her a divorce in a letter. Although reluctant to carry out such a task, a reluctant Poirot is charmed by the actress into committing this deed. She has plans to marry her current beau, the Duke of Merton. In "LORD EDGEWARE DIES", Belgian-born detective Hercule Poirot is approached by celebrated stage actress, Jane Wilkinson aka Baroness Edgeware, to approach her rather unpleasant husband on the possibility of a divorce. The most recent was a 100 minute television adaptation that aired in 2000 on the ITV series, "AGATHA CHRISTIE'S POIROT". There have been at least three movie and one radio adaptations of the novel in the past seven to eight decades.
