Ratings and reviews

Good story but the author drags it out in certain portions. He could easily have cut 50 pages. Plus there is way too much sobbing and crying by the women. That is quite tiresome. The male characters are stoical or get furiously angry while the female characters sob. Especially the "strong " female detective lead. Jesus, recuse yourself if you can't keep it together.

The ebook was poorly edited, as well as abridged. The flow was off, in many places large parts were missing and sentences would start over. Thought I was buying a whole book. Not happy.

A decent idea for a story, but very poorly written, edited and executed. A chore to finish, would recommend avoiding this book.
