Review: THE WRITER by DW Ulsterman

An eager college journalist wasabout to have a one-on-one with her favorite author. Some wondered if Adelewould solve the mystery of the writer what with the mysterious death of hiswife. The first question she unwittingly asked was: Did you kill your wife? Heanswered, “yes.” What!? I thought this would lead to juicy stuff. Instead, welead off with a stale interview of questions and long pauses.

The narrative describes thewaterfront scenery well. However, a story does take a while to formulate here.I thought we would eventually get into the wife’s mysterious death, which I’dhoped would be murder. It just didn’t seem that way. The writing was much moreliterary than mysterious. It just felt like nothing was happening here. This iswhere I don’t continue the series.

Decent read, but hardly no story.
