Title: Bad editor! Bad, bad!
Product review: This book was bought for big money based on a proposal of the first 100 pages plus an outline of the rest of the story. The first part of the book was great, riviting, good writing, really drew you in. But before finishing the book, the writer had money in the bank and got very, very lazy. The editor NEVER should have accepted the final manuscript without significant changes. What a weak, cop-out ending! The actions taken in the end were NOT in character. If the writer wanted to make this ending believable, he sure should have written a character that would have made such decisions. Where was the editor when he needed one? There is an old writing workshop adage: if you are going to have a character shoot himself at the end of the story, you'd better put a gun on the mantle in the first scene. Where oh where was the "gun"????
