Review: Good premise, poorly executed
Rating: 2 out of 5

I was intrigued by a mystery featuring a protagonist who is a runner, and I thought this might be a good introduction to the series, so I bought the book. I was disappointed that the writing was not what I'd hoped for. The dialogue was stilted and the narrative read like a first draft that really needed a rewrite to bring it to life. I hate to diss another author in a review, and I hope Ms. Strong is not offended. With a good story idea, one can turn out a good book once one masters the craft of writing. Reading this was like reading a first effort by a new author. Most first efforts need to go into a drawer.
