Fast read with fun characters but oh boy could this book use an editor. Characters names change, words missing or wrong words used. not easy to read because of bad edits.

I think I'm done with this series. I really enjoyed the first book, even though it had some odd typos and inconsistencies (like the main character worrying about paying his mortgage and car payment when he inherited his paid-off townhouse from his father and drove a 12-year-old BMW). But this book had even more problems, and I just couldn't stay focused on the story. For example, the main character hopes that God will be "graceful" when he really means "gracious." Then someone puts something "ahead" instead of "away." At one point, someone is praised for having a good "idea" for composition instead of a good "eye" for composition. The name "Kaufman" is sometimes spelled "Kaufmann." The bakery that was called The Chocolate Ear in book one is now called More Than Chocolate. The main character identifies himself (just once) with the wrong last name (which could have been used to throw someone off the track but in this case is an obvious mistake). The murdered person is also referred to once by the wrong last name. The odd word choices might be because the author dictates the books, and the software misunderstands and tries to guess the correct word. But the other problems are just sloppy. Whoever is editing is not paying attention.
