One of the heroes gets a nutter stalker and they don't go to the police. Instead they try to discover who the stalker is for themselves. *facepalm*Jenrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15492693697232134724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-44603072237419249212010-07-30T10:23:11.787-07:002010-07-30T10:23:11.787-07:00Hunh.

I want realism in my fantasy, tyvm! I just can't suspend disbelief that much.<br /><br />The Boondock Saints pulled it off, but they had mafia ties and a vigilante family history. They also got in over their heads. Damn, now I want to go watch that movie again...M Jules Aedinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08820733413519409884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-88704630342352331222010-07-30T10:16:54.014-07:002010-07-30T10:16:54.014-07:00Hi Chris

I agree that if the whole point of the book is to solve a crime and bypass the police it's really irritating.Jenrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15492693697232134724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-2597699505644021002010-07-30T10:15:50.569-07:002010-07-30T10:15:50.569-07:00Hi Tracy

I aspired to be Daisy Duke :).Jenrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15492693697232134724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-45393509155792166122010-07-30T09:12:53.535-07:002010-07-30T09:12:53.535-07:00Definitely an annoyance.

If the book only exists because of such stupid behavior, I'm REALLY likely to not finish it.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12959009113795804133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-41978684451302233462010-07-30T09:11:49.166-07:002010-07-30T09:11:49.166-07:00Oh honey you said it!

How the hell can these people actually think that they can do a better job than the trained professional? Ug. I'm glad they have confidence in themselves, but come on!<br /><br />btw - love that Boss Hogg reference. :)Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05320961506471746567noreply@blogger.com
