cheryl_r's review
2.0
Bit of a rough ride. Did an earlier version go to print instead of the finished manuscript? Gotta admit I'd originally abandoned this launch of a Cleveland, Ohio, detective series at Chapt. 1 due to the lack of content edits and my disbelief in the main character's reasoning skills. Giving it another whirl, I found the first half exciting, well-researched and meticulously well-plotted, but beginning midway, the increasingly pervasive, aforementioned problems compounded by the innumerable errors in each chapter sent things off the rails. The fact this author teaches writing and somehow maintained the construct of his most significant plot points gives hope that this work isn't representative of his capabilities. All aside, I'm now psyched to visit my mom's hometown of Cleveland for the very first time next week!
