Review: The story is very good, but ...

First I want to say that the story was excellent and well presented. It kept the mystery going and revealed details little by little to keep you reading. I will be looking for more by this author.But as I read the book I kept thinking this was meant to be a young adult story because the sentences were so short and simplistic. It became bothersome at times and felt choppy.  Another annoyance was when the author kept describing the minutia of somebody doing something. The one that sticks in my mind was how Anthony, after gathering his plants and papers in secret to take them somewhere before his wife wakes up (suspense is building at this point), gets in his car and we are told he CLOSES THE DOOR AND LOOKS BOTH WAYS BEFORE  BACKING OUT OF HIS DRIVEWAY.  I really wanted to know where he was going. I didn't need to be told he closed his car door. This one instance in itself is not so bad, but there were many places in the book where this kind of unnecessary, meaningless detail detracted from the story. That is something the author might want to work on.  Otherwise it's a very good story.
