The Brutal Telling by Louise PennyMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Having finished four-in-a-row of this series, I can firmly state that Ms. Penny needs an editor. It's one thing to have repetitive tag lines (how many times did Rex Stout remind us of Nero's 1/8 acre of yellow silk pajamas?), it's another to repeat paragraphs. At times it feels as though she just doesn't know how better to describe or comment on something.
Other than that, my affection for the characters continues as does my enjoyment of the plots. Luckily, I don't have another sitting here and by the time the next one arrives my problems with her writing will have receded.
