SVU #34: Spy Girl

[melody_powers]

I'm back again with another recap/attempt to revive this wonderful community! This book is the second in a miniseries that started with Out of the Picture, where everyone's trying to solve a murder mystery even though they all suck at it.

In the parallel Sweet Valley story I'm writing in my head while I read this crap, the real Lila just climbed Mount Everest without breaking a sweat, then planted a flag that says "Property of Miss Lila Fowler."

^Hands down this is one of the best things ever written in this community.
Maybe she paid like 8,000 sherpas and their yaks to pull her in the Triumph up the mountain, who knows, but now the Lila vs. Mt. Everest fan-fic wheels are spinning!!

They run into the same body-building golf pro from earlier, and pretend they're doing a feature story about the club's geraniums.
Oh my god what even is any of this.

This was an excellent recap of what sounds like a super-frustrating book! :D Tom and Elizabeth busted up was really annoying (I remember hating that whole stalker plot with his dad). I also remembered I really liked Nick but that he got sucked into way too many WACKY SHENANIGANS like this.

Lmaooo what is even going on in this book. I definitely read it a few years ago but have absolutely no memory of it. Which is probably for the best.

Uh... wow. WTF WAS all that? So by the end of the book, basically... a whole lot of nothing happened? Except for the shenanigans, of course. Why can another character just don a wig and suddenly no one has any idea who they are? Loved your "adventures of Lila" subplot -- that's the only thing that makes any sense and wasn't even IN the book. And the lights talking to Elizabeth so specifically! I had to LOL. I get that that's a style of writing and all... like you're depressed and it's raining so it seems like the sky is crying with you, or whatever... but... yeesh. Maybe Liz is actually a prophet or something! And yeah, I bet it wasn't really Tom's BACK stiffening... sneaky little ghostwriter lol

I wish a ghostwriter would find this comm and admit that they were all on something when they wrote these books. I only read the first few SVUs, I was getting "too old" for them... haha, they're so cracktastic though I think maybe I was missing out! Excellent snarky review, you really have a flair for this :D

That was brilliant - I loved your Lila. Definitely interested in reading any more snarks you're happy to share!
