Recently, knowing I would be temporarily vertical and a supply of mysteries would be the most effective means of staying sane, I bought both of Maddy Hunter's travel-oriented paper-back releases, Alpine for You and Top O' the Mourning. I really don't like "coy". I don't like "cute". Sorry, but this is the first time I have ever thrown books away, partially read. So sad. This is a good premise for travel, "sense of place" books; Ms. Hunter failed to exploit it.
