French Pressed by Cleo Coyle

I was disappointed again.  Two books ago in this series I was not impressed, but the last one was great.  This one fell flat again.  I do not know if Coyle is struggling with ideas or what.  It really seems like she is just trying to fill pages with things that are not all that important, I feel.  In this book Clare's daughter, Joy, gets wrapped up in a murder and Clare gets involved in getting to the bottom of things.  The book was 260 pages and I think the bulk of the whole thing could have been told in 160.  There are still more books in the series, but I am not chomping at the bit to read them.
