Nancy A. (Chocoholic) reviewed on 7/24/2013 + 291 more book reviews

I read the first two chapters of this and could't go on. I'm sure it was probably a brilliant premise in theory, but badly implemented. Firstly, and most importantly, the story line didn't immediately grab me. When I have to force myself into reading something, it's a pretty good sign that the writing leaves something to be desired. I also had issues with the author telling the reader things instead of showing them (how was a character looking unusual? show us the detective's frustration instead of just telling us he is). Finally, I'm not entirely certain that the Spanish language was used appropriately, though it's not my native tongue so I can't say for sure.
