Review: I didn't like this book.

I always purchase new books by ZA Maxwell because I can count on a consistently good read with developed characterization, a good plot and realistic sex. That is not the case with this re-release.First, I cannot understand why the author or the publishing company did not use the re-relaese to correct the numerous(on almost every page)editing errors. I found myself looking for the missing or mispelled words on the page rather than reading the story.Second, every clue to the murderer pointed to only one person from the time he entered the story. These characters claimed to be great investigators so how could they not figure this out? And then, why oh why would anyone meeet with the killer alone?Third, the inconsistencies were too numerous to mention...much: Kevin had a key to Connor's house and then he didn't, Kevin was feuding with his father, but his sister never intervened (weird!), The federal agents never believed Kevin was psyshic and then they did with no more proof than they had previously, The Schillings wouldn't speak to Connor at the police station, but then they join his family for a New Year's celebration when he withheld information that possibly could have helped with the investigation into their son's death? I could go on...and on...Fourth, Kevin and Connor acted incredibly silly and immature to be a current detective and a retired one. Of course, how many 25 year old detectives are there out there? The banter was so bad in this novel, I had to keep going back to re-read parts to figure out what they were talking about. I also couldn't figure out the "Trekkie" name-calling. Was there ever a mention of these characters watching Star Trek or anything else in that vain? No, there was not.Fifth, the ending was just bad...bad...bad...These guys love each other madly, but decide to separate to different parts of the country to see if they really love each other madly. I call BS on that one.I'll certainly be more discerning with my next ZA Maxwell book.
