I find it comical that one of my favorite movie/TV review sites just got around to discovering Nora Roberts. Here’s the review of Naked in Death at Pajiba.com. The reviewer uses Castle as a sort-of high concept to explain what makes the In Death series work on a relationship level, more than as a mystery/suspense. Because if it works for TV it must be a good formula, right?
Don’t know why such a positive review about a romance on an entertainment site is bothering me, but it does. This should be a win-win for Nora and the romance community, but the reviewer’s kinda calling the plot simplistic and beside the point, and I’m kinda not digging that.
I don’t get it either why Castle is used to explain Nora’s series. He then goes on to say that ‘if so and so was more….’ Why compare when they aren’t even the same.
