One of Those Malibu Nights

This is the first Elizabeth Adler I've read, and it was a perfect vacation read. The characters were well-developed, the descriptions scenic, the plot mildly predicatable, but a well-wrapped ending.

I just finished reading EA's latest venture and I found it fast moving and just pleasant time spent. I enjoyed her characters, Mac and Sunny well, and even the 4-legged characters in this book of which there are several. Actually you could get into all of the characters in this book. EA spends enough time with each of them for you to get to know them. After some of the darker and heavier novels I've read lately this was just a refreshing change of pace. There is not a lot of profanity or gory details of murdered victims. Oh, yes there are a couple of dead bodies showing up and a good mystery along with some light romance. I even appreciated though there are love scenes between Mac and Sunny, again they are not detailed. Do we really always need details? As usual there is the lovely descriptions of food and scenery in various countries that Malibu Nights takes you to. Elizabeth Adler seemed to take on a different style of writing in this book than is usual for her books but it seemed to work. Some may think it not her best writing but I found it quite enjoyable.

This book was a very good story, this author never fails to deliver a good book, interesting dialogue and you can almost see the scenery that she describes. I always buy her books, and are not disappointed ever.

I really enjoyed this book. In typical Adler style, it had lots of gorgeous locations, which she does a masterful job of describing to the reader. Looking forward to the next one.
