Review: Wonderfully convoluted mystery, badly needs proofreading

An intricate murder mystery; although it is obvious fairly soon who has the most motive, the twists and turns in getting there are enjoyable. The main characters are likeable. The story telling is engaging, if a bit naive.But, oh, the lack of quotation marks! For goodness sake, hire a proof reader! Did no one ever teach the author how to properly construct multi-paragraph sections of speech or thought?It makes the book irritatingly difficult to read, and I understand now why there are such mixed reviews.But for that oh-so-easily-rectifiable but really major problem, I would have given this book 4 stars and would have bought the next book. As it is, I won't buy the next book as the preview shows that its construction is just as bad as this one.
