In a Heartbeat, Elizabeth Adler, 2000, Delacorte Press. Genre: Suspense. 296 pages. Finished 3/8/2010.
LesOpinion: I realize the quest is young, but this book is going to be in the running for The Stupidest Book. We have the return of Adler's trademark lazy prose (heavily dependent on the adverb "definitely") and a tale that barely holds water (the entire storyline hinges on the fact that the "best of the best" mob hitmen doesn't bother to finish the job with a head shot). Worse yet, we have more than one instance of the literary equivalent of that part in a bad TV show where the characters go back in time via harp music and wavy screen images.
Dumbest quote: Who am I kidding? This book is a 296-page Dumb Quote.

Please tell me this is an exaggeration.
Welcome to the lesblog, pyrajane. I hope you are finding everything you need. While hyperbole is not beyond the scope of the lesblog, I shit you not about the whole going back in time business.
