Review: Could have been a good book

I think the author had a great idea for the story in the book. I think where it went wrong was that it was just too slow and it just took forever for things to get moving; things did not happen fast enough to hold my attention. I also think the main character seemed kind of shallow to me. He obviously cared about his wife, but I really saw no passion in him for anything else, no reason for him doing the things he was doing, the murders he was committing. I needed to see some more emotion from him, make him more real. The other characters in the book were well developed and likable; however, I had a hard time thinking they were stupid enough to not know Dan was a killer. I also need to make comment on the editing, as many other reviews did here. It was pretty poor to the point of being a distraction to the reader. As I said before, the story in general could have been good but it just got sidelined by too much fluff.
