Twisted Murder

I liked this book but one case was left uncompleted. And the loose ends with the main murder were just wrapped up too neatly. In my opinion the main detectives are still superficial. I will continue the series to see if they improve.

I so appreciate that this universe includes this book.

"Murder Replete...for now" by G.A. Cockerham is an interesting and informative read. Lots of police procedures explained along the way to discovering who "the responsible" is. A most interesting section to me, a 62 year old woman, was the part about the "Cammer". Now, fellow readers, you have got to read this fun/creepy murder mystery to learn what I am talking about. Enjoy!

The worst ending I have ever encountered in a book!!

Insipid

Remedial writing with phrases and words repeated throughout the story. It is almost as if AI wrote the book. There were several location based errors. Sloppy editing.

[Hugh · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is about a small Oregon coast police department, challenged with a murder of unusual circumstances, methodically solving the mystery. It’s a lesson in sound police detective step to identify the guilty party. An interesting and fun read. I highly recommend it.
