I must say the review is really well written. As far as the book is concerned, I have realised that as far as crime fiction goes, often the storytelling becomes more important than the plot. In this case, the storytelling is poor which ceases to make a book interesting, which is disappointing because, as you said, the story really had potential.

Good review. When I read a book that riles me the wrong way, I try and think again and try a different mindset, but I agree that there is something off, with this presentation. However I have now to do my own review, so will see what I can come up with.

This is such a well-written review! You explain the parts you disliked in a very fair way. I decided to give this book a try, based on the description of the story. I'm hoping the writing style won't bother me too much!

I am reading this novel now and I sorley agree with you. Because it is so short there are no descriptions. It is deffinatly disappointing I also had high hopes for this.
