Review: Intriguing, despite...

I thoroughly enjoyed the book. The characters came alive and it was refreshing that the main character, Max, was not "tall and ruggedly handsome" as they are in so many whodunnits. Max was also quite witty.However, my "despite" means the terrible editing, grammar, spelling, and sentence structure. "Casey left Tom and I (ME) in the den." "It also seemed to (TOO) obvious." "Mandy laid (LAY) next to me." "Lisa pointed to where the car had just past (PASSED) us." These are just a few examples of the many errors in the book. (My corrections are in CAPS.)It continues to amaze me that an author can craft an interesting, well-paced plot but yet be ignorant of basic grammar, spelling, and sentence structure. Some of these authors should hire me as their editor!
