StarMan Insta-love and love triangles annoy me, but too many factual errors make me want to abandon an author.

Poor character development or weak characters also are bad. And more than a couple of spelling errors in a mainstream (non-self-published) book are not a good sign.

Erin Mod
Just finished Three Bedrooms, One Corpse and the insta-love in it drove me bananas! My least favorite Aurora Teagarden so far. I only gave it 2 stars...

Candace Weak/cardboard characters and unrealistic dialogue bug me most of all.
