Review: Good romance and suspense story lines - but not translated fully from British to American...

While I enjoyed the story line mostly, the writing - particularly dialogue between characters - felt awkward enough that I am not sure I will finish this...  If I had been reading Martina Cole or Andy McNab or any other British author writing something set in England it would have felt more natural.  But all these American cops speaking like Brits didn't work.  Also, the author needs to be careful of different vocabulary between the cultures (I understood her buying the lingerie because I am half British but here it would have been a bustier with garters).Separately, Ana seemed to waffle between something of a proper British girl and a fishwife with foul language - was a bit extreme for me.  And the men's obsession with "wanting to do right by her and take care of her and protect her from all these other men who just want in her pants" was over the top but some of that I think was the British phrasing/style coming through.
