Review: Great story, awful editing

I liked the story itself a lot.  The plot moved well, and the switch from voice to voice was done in manner that made each character come a bit more alive as the story progressed.However, the editing in this kindle version was so poor I almost gave up many times.  Only the promise the story itself held kept my interest.  I am a fairly fast reader, but the editing issues--paragraphing, missing quotation marks, etc. were so prevalent I was slowed down to what was for me was an unacceptable pace.The idea of a serial killer and a copycat with such different motives was intriguing.  This story really seemed set to explore the difference between being driven to crazy by events beyond a person's control and just being born bat sh** insane.  I think the author missed out on the promise that this premise presented by getting bogged down in details of the killings themselves.The ending could be considered a let down and other readers may find it unsatisfying.  I won't spoil anything here, but it was all that and more.  Unsatisfying, unexpected, and yet fitting.I did like this book.  The story was intriguing and the style of writing chapters from different characters' PoV kept things moving.  But I will try a free sample to see if the editing is still this poor before committing to another book by this author.
