Tortured Mind's The Accused

by Perry E. Zenon

The First in the Tortured Mind's Trilogy Detective Adams thinks training the two new detectives assigned to his division will be a piece of cake, until the body of an accused pedophile is found slaughtered in his own bedroom and Adams needs his new partners' help in solving the growing case. A self-righteous vigilante confesses to the murder of the pedophile only to reveal his plan of continuing his murder spree of accused criminals still free until the detectives bring him to justice. From the heart of the mystifying French Quarters to the sensual River Walk the vigilante laced a web of murders for the detectives to untangle. Detective Adams, with the help of his two protégés Detectives Roberts and Radcliff, find himself facing a moral dilemma of allowing the murders of the city's scum or bring to justice the only person able to bring justice to the accused.

I received a copy of this book through Librarything.
I didn't like this book and here's why: The writing style was difficult for me to follow; there were many writing mistakes, such as grammar errors, misspellings, and there was even a proofreader's paragragh that wasn't omitted from the published book. I searched the book for ARC, but I could not find it so I guess it was the finished product.
The prologue was written in one style, and the rest of the book was done in a different style. I even found the prologue words verbatim in chapter 28; a first for me of the many books I read with prologues.
I'm guessing that I am not the target audience for this story; because most of the dialogue I did not understand.
A book of this length (197 pages), should only take me a few hours to read, but this story took me three weeks; it didn't grab me, but I stuck with it and read it entirely.
