It isn't often I'll give a four star review to a book with this many copyediting misses. If your internal editor is relentless and unforgiving, you'll spot a problem every few pages. The errors, although covering the full gambit of homonym errors, typos, and misspellings, are mostly not those, but minor issues. Things like missing little words that many people will blow past without noticing (although I did wonder what was going on when I read about "homeless guys laying a bench") or an occasional extra or out of order word ("When they finally put the out flames ...").If you ignore the frequent little issues, you'll be left with a good book. There are some great characters in the protagonist, Pete, and his eventual love interest, who are likeable, sympathetic, and very funny. I thought I'd figured out the plot early on, but still wanted to see where it went. I discovered that what I thought was obvious, was, but it was only the tip of the iceberg. If you're a fan of thrillers, The Undertaker would be a good choice for your next read.**Originally written for "Books and Pals" book blog. May have received a free review copy. **
