Parra<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Black sheep Evie Bloomfield could really use something to brag about at her next family gathering, so when her boss, Abigail, dangles the promise of a promotion in exchange for a favor, Evie eagerly signs on. It seems Abigail\u2019s father, Rudy, has broken his leg and needs help keeping his Mackinac Island bike shop afloat. Should be an easy enough task, right? But when the island\u2019s most odious woman, Bunny Harrington, vows to use her influence to shutter Rudy\u2019s Rides and then falls victim to a fatal bicycle accident, Evie quickly realizes that in order to climb the corporate ladder, she has to do a lot more than peddle Rudy\u2019s pedals \u2013 she has to keep him out of prison.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Geared for the Grave<\/strong> is the first installment in <strong><em>Duffy Brown\u2019s<\/em><\/strong> new <em>Cycle Path Mystery<\/em> series. I had high hopes for this book, as I tend to enjoy Brown\u2019s <em>Consignment Shop Mysteries<\/em>, but I actually had trouble even finishing it. At first I thought <strong>Geared for the Grave<\/strong> might just suffer from a lousy first chapter, but as it turns out, the problems I found in the first dozen pages plague the entire tome. The prose is awkward \u2013 full of long, complicated sentences that take several read-throughs to digest. The dialogue is hokey and ridiculous, and Brown\u2019s attempt at an Irish brogue is painful to read. Everyone has an annoying nickname (if I never again see or hear the word \u201cfudgie,\u201d it\u2019ll be too soon). Bunny\u2019s death is treated like a punch line, which I find to be in very poor taste. There\u2019s not much action, tension, or drama to speak of, and what little there is reads like something out of a farce. The solution to Brown\u2019s mystery is arbitrary and convoluted, and the ending of <strong>Geared for the Grave<\/strong> is abrupt and unsatisfying.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Boorish and judgmental, larcenous and incompetent, smug and superior yet hapless and half-witted, Evie is perhaps the least likable traditional mystery heroine and worst amateur sleuth I\u2019ve encountered to date. Her narration reads like the manic monologue of a woefully unfunny stand-up comic, and she has absolutely no chemistry with anyone in the book \u2013 her supposed love interest, included. Brown\u2019s supporting cast isn\u2019t much better; Brown\u2019s fictional universe is populated entirely by cartoons and stereotypes, and with the exception of Evie\u2019s mother, who only appears at the very end of the book, there\u2019s nobody in all of <strong>Geared for the Grave<\/strong> with whom I would voluntarily spend time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With all the fudge, <em>Keystone Cops<\/em>-style action, over-the-top characters, and terrible jokes\u200b, <strong>Geared for the Grave<\/strong> reads more like a bad <em>I Love Lucy<\/em> send-up than a Berkley Prime Crime release. I\u2019m sure there are readers out there for whom this book will strike a chord, but I\u2019m not one of them.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/23505722-geared-for-the-grave\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/goodread-logo.jpg?resize=210%2C86\" alt=\"goodread-logo\" width=\"210\" height=\"86\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Reviewed by<\/em><strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">\u00a0Kat<\/span><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/2.5_star_blog.jpg?resize=102%2C58\" alt=\"2.5_star_blog\" width=\"102\" height=\"58\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00JJXV47W?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=thesea0f-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B00JJXV47W\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/amazon-logo.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"amazon-logo\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=4jojKl08wnk&amp;subid=&amp;offerid=266972.1&amp;type=10&amp;tmpid=8432&amp;RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fsearch.barnesandnoble.com%252Fbooksearch%252Fisbninquiry.asp%253Fean%253D9781101631539\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/bandn-logo.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"bandn-logo\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/book\/lookup?isbn=9781101631539\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/iBooks_Icon.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"iBooks_Icon\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=4jojKl08wnk&amp;subid=&amp;offerid=290193.1&amp;type=10&amp;tmpid=9309&amp;RD_PARM1=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kobobooks.com%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.html%3Fq%3D9781101631539\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/kobo-logo.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"kobo-logo\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/search?q=9781101631539&amp;c=books\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/icon-google-play.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"icon-google-play\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-15142\" data-postid=\"15142\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-15142 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FIRST IN A NEW SERIES!
