Review: Good story/ Lots of words missing but they don't ruin the thrill

In the beginning, it was obvious a good proofreader was necessary. For instance, in one paragraph, the name Cindy appeared four times. I thought doesn't the author know the word "she."  It kept on. Then, suddenly, in the next chapter, the word "she" began to appear and echos disappeared.  I bet the book had been copyedited and the author was told to do some backpedaling--and when she did, the new writing was not sent back to the editor for review.In sum, the rest of the book came out fine. The characters were three-dimensional and the plot of finding the murderer of Mattheus' wife was exciting. The relationship between Cindy and her partner/lover was only partly resolved. Could Cindy feel trust again? That will probably find closure in a later book of the series.Quite interesting were the details of abuse, explained while Cindy was conducting interviews at a women's shelter. The author deserves an "A" for that part of the story.Read it. There's a lot in it to be enjoyed.Barbara C. Johnson, author of Behind the Black Robes: Failed Justice
