Review 1: A Madness of Sunshine audiobook by Lotusland Lady
I read everything Nalini Singh has published and love most of her books but when writing about werewolves and archangels and vampire the rules allow for improbable love connections. In A Madness of Sunshine, the author has written a basic thriller/romance in the same style as many of the Nora Roberts books, and she needs to up her game. The excellent parts of the story involve the South Island of New Zealand, and the language and customs of the Maori people who live there. There are haunting descriptions of the birds, the forests, and the effect of the Pacific on a small island. But her story does not quite work. First, there are too many suspects, but, unlike a skilled mystery writer, she does not allow the reader to guess who the murderer is. She lays out reasons for everyone to be a murderer, and then more or less tells us who it likely is, but keeps us guessing until he confesses. It turns out there are several murderers and we more or less have to accept in this tiny, idyllic Maori community, everyone is dysfunctional, and murderers run amok. This tends to negate the community’s charm. Then she introduces a bitter, broken hearted woman with an abusive childhood and a tragic secret who happens to be a world famous pianist, and a bitter cop who has lost confidence in himself because of the death of a child he was protecting. Both have come to this small town to lick their wounds, and by golly, within three days of meeting they are in bed together, and pretty cozy for a couple of life’s victims. This is not a believable boy meets girl etc. scenario. I applaud Ms Singh’s desire to spread her writing wings, but she only gets a C+ for this first attempt.
Review 2: A Madness of Sunshine audiobook by Shannan
Enjoyed
I love Nalini’s other books. This one is a bit of a departure but was still good. It was quite a bit darker in tone than her others. If you are looking for light and breezy this is not the book for you. if you are looking for a darkly toned, small town secrets mystery, you will enjoy this book.
Review 3: A Madness of Sunshine audiobook
Very Different
But in a good way. I like murder mystery some times and this was a good listen. It was easy to keep up with the characters and their sub stories.
I liked it A LOT!!!
Lovely narration that did not butcher the kiwi accent too.
