Review: Good story

I basically enjoyed reading this story even with its editing issues.  They start early on and continue throughout.  At first I was making a list but gave up.  At location 247 a character says "good afternoon" at 10 in the morning.  I know this happens in real life, but this early in the book it is jarring. At location 259 there should be a comma in the phrase "daughter Amelia" because the daughter is actually named Jenny.  Enough said about editing.I liked the personalities of the characters. The wife was a little condescending toward the husband, and the husband a little too praising of the wife (but that's not a bad thing in a real-life husband). They both held the best interests of the other in high regard.I had a little disconnect in the relative ages of Hank and Jake who had been buddies going back to high school. Hank was 5 years from retirement and Jake has an 8 year old son.  Jake's character just feels significantly younger.I repeat that the story was readable, the unfolding of the mystery was done fairly well, the characters had personality, there were no graphic sex scenes, the language was for general audiences, and it upholds family values.
