Review: I feel cheated!

I have read many of Karin Slaughter's full length novels and spotted that she has some `straight to ebook' novella length stories available. I downloaded this and got stuck in straight away. Will Trent is a cop working under-cover but his policing instincts kick in when he's involved in a store robbery. This has all Karin Slaughter's trade-marks; an adrenaline inducing vehicle chase, a plot in which people are not what they seem to be on the surface, a dry wit. It's classic stuff and very enjoyable.A big downside for me, though, was that Busted ended at 61% of the `book'. The rest was chapters from a forthcoming Will Trent novel. I feel used! This is cheap advertising and it doesn't work. I never read disembodied chapters. They spoil the book for me as I'm rarely looking for my next read and prepared to go straight on and buy it. I also will not buy any more of these short books as I don't wish to find the same disappointment and annoyance there too. It's not a strategy that works for me and I feel short-changed.
