Review: Too many errors; disappointing; contains editing corrections
Rating: 1 out of 5

Despite the fun senior sleuth characters, I have to give this book a poor rating. This is a self-published work, and the author didn't have an editor. The book is full of grammatical and spelling errors. So much so that it distracts from the story. The worst part, though, is that this is a redline version - complete with line outs and corrections. It is confusing, annoying, and inappropriate. Very disappointing as I like the characters the author has created. They are funny, smart, and a bit irreverent. The mystery is fairly well plotted, and the ideas are good but the author needs a good editor very badly. I found myself correcting her errors as I read which detracted from my enjoyment of the story itself. Do NOT buy until the author fixes the mistakes.
