"And I categorically hate it when the author chews and re-chews the facts several times thinking the reader is slow or dull-witted." - Music to my ears! I agree, Helga. Especially when it is towards the end of a book. Unless you have put away the book for several months, we just read it and do not need a refresher. Just get on with it already. 😁 I've seen this one pop up quite a bit. Sorry it was a let-down. On to the next!

Thanks! I found myself rolling my eyes a lot with this one.
Excellent write-up, Helga. I really enjoyed the author's debut Blacktop Wasteland and have this one on my reading docket. I agree that plot is the most difficult thing for a writer to solve and those tend to be pretty important in mysteries. I see a terrific character, atmosphere and overall good writing here, there and everywhere, but story is often what results in a three-star read.

I haven't read Blacktop Wasteland and i will definitely read it soon. As i said the writing was good, but the actions and reactions of the characters were sometimes unreasonable. There were also too many fillers that could have been omitted.
Sounds very disturbing Helga. Not sure if I can stomach that
