The story was interesting enough to keep my attention, but the book could have been so much better. It was as if they didn't have an editor. No one proofed it. There were misspellings, extra words, repetitive sentences or phrases, and it sort of jumped around a lot so that you weren't really sure what was being discussed. The author included a lot of detailed information, but often if felt that it was just added for no apparent reason, other than prove the author knew it. I hope the next book is better reviewed, and edited before it gets published.

This book was absolutely horrible! Now, I know I might tend to be a bit harsh on typos, but if you find the first one by pg 3, you know it's gonna be bad. This book was the biggest chore to read, but I did finish it (will someone give me a gold star??) Just goes to show anyone can get a book published. I really should be an editor and get paid to read and fix crap. DO NOT read this book! (also, don't fall for the "meet the local author, get a signed copy" crap... that was my mistake- besides reading the whole dang thing)

A casual read. Not very well written. The plot has a few twists but nothing remarkable. It filled a long plane ride. Sleep would have been more beneficial.

I enjoyed the book, and it had some nice twists. However, it was a bit choppy and a a little hard to follow at times. Editing wasn't the greatest with many typos.

If you are from KY you will love this and its mention of place thru-out Louisville.!!

Ok book but could be a bit confusing as it seemed to jump around. Needed some more editing as well!

Ending was quick, as if the author tired of writing. One chapter is gathering evidence; the next, wrap up. Book editing for typos is very poor.
