Review: Liked the story...editing stinks
Rating: 3 out of 5

Since by far the most common complaints in Amazon reviews involve poor editing and numerous typos, you'd think that authors would get the idea that these elements are important to readers.While the mystery itself was fine, and I liked Ridley, the number of errors was distracting and lowered the rating. You get broach for brooch, stripped for striped, flare for flair, curling staircase for curving, discrete for discreet, karate gee for gi plus a plethora of punctuation errors especially with plurals and possessives.Aside from that, you'd at least think they could get actors' names right....it is not "Shawn" Connery. I also found the overuse of the verb "smirk" (almost a dozen times) over the top.Story-wise, I am pretty fed up with cops with tunnel-vision who essentially refuse to look at suspects other than their favorite.Those things being said, I thought the story flowed reasonably well and kept the reader interested...admittedly Autumn was a pain in the rear, and I wondered what on earth the two characters ever saw in each other.Oh well...guess that's the price of free Kindle downloads...I would read another Ridley book and keep my fingers crossed that the editing improves.
