Moonflower Murders by Anthony Horowitz

Rating: WARTY!

"When a hotelier's beautiful daughter disappears," Why is it relevant that she was 'beautiful'? If she had looked jsu tlike any average person, would her disappearance not have been not such a bad thing? We need to start puking on the shoes of all book blurb writers, publishers, and authors who countenace this abusive, insulting, and genderist shit. "...retired editor Susan Ryeland travels to a coastal resort to investigate." Yet another retiree coming out of the woodwork into the fray. I'm really curious how many times we're going to be hit over the head with this sorry trope/tripe? Barf!
