Review: Really a Bad Book

There is so much wrong with this book, and it is not the topic as many others have suggested.  Yes a serial killer of very young girls is disturbing but, it was not done well which makes it worse yet. It makes it a bad novel. First this was the "American" edition -- converted from a UK setting to NY State, to make it relate more to US readers.  We have heard of the UK and we get it.  Changing te locale and some of the words from English usuage to American doesn't work especially when they are all not changed.  The characters switch back and forth from one to anouther and as the book goes on they laspe into almost pure Brit.  Folks, cops among them, rarely plan their day around tea.  And coffee and krumpets may work but not always.  Parts of the book repeat and rehasing all the serial killer and pedophile theories in narrative form do not a novel make.  I read the whole thing because I knew what I would say here.  Do not waste your money on this even if it is free on Kindle.
