The Mamacita Murders
I didn't like this book at all. I had a really hard time finishing it. It just seemed so boring to me, I ended up probably more skimming than reading. I found that the author seemed to explain like every single thing she brought up. I found it really annoying. The only example I can think of is when she was explaining what a bikini wax was. I get there was a lot of law/lawyer type stuff going on, but still. The readers aren't complete morons if they choose this book.A few questions:At the beginning when Gaby is prosecuting against Javier, she says that she's an ASSISTANT prosecutor. So why would she have been doing this by herself? What was with all the flirting? I mean it seemed like Gaby was flirting with every guy she came into contact with. I was not a fan of her. She was just too much.Why did Javier actually end up in court for supposedly sexually assaulting Laura? I mean it had been like a year since, no proof, or anything in fact. How did the prosecution office have enough of anything to even get a trial? I didn't understand that part.What was with Gaby's angels? There's the times when she seems to know stuff, all by herself. Then there are the many times where she's asking Angela what her angels think. Strange.How was Ford the lead detective handling Laura's case, yet he doesn't really seem to do anything. What's Mack's title again?Why did the Mamacita Club need a wardrobe stylist. I guess I wasn't 100% understanding what the club did, the specifics I guess. I know they help the girls that didn't have much going for them....I so loved the part (being sarcastic here) where Gaby is worried after the time when she's at her club and the loud car comes by shooting. So she's at home, naked, in bed. She hears someone outside and grabs her gun on the night stand. Then for whatever reason she gets up and grabs another gun that's in her safe...not grabbing the shotgun that's by her door. Then jumps back into bed and wonders if she should get dressed...but decides against it because she's too nervous. That had to have been the stupidest part in the book.I didn't like how Gaby was always trying to guilt other people into doing stuff for her. Again really annoying. Like when she was trying to get the fingerprint lady to hurry up and the dna person. God forbid there aren't much more important cases then hers. Did I mention that Gaby was a bit much? Like at the hospital when Bess is asking the doctor about the DNR for Laura. Bess doesn't want her daughter to suffer anymore but here comes Gaby telling them save her. I understand she wants to help the world but seriously? Lastly, the title The Mamacita Murders...I don't get it. I mean yeah Gaby has a club for the girls but considering Laura (one of the main characters) isn't even apart of the club. PLUS, who was murdered exactly? I did admit I skimmed a lot, so maybe I passed it by?
