Title: Writing style detracts from story
Product review: While the story is an intriguing one and the characters lively and well drawn, I found the book almost unreadable. Why? Because Martini uses the present tense in describing the action. For example:"What's that?", I ask...."Nothing," he says....I give him a look...."Who's Walt Eagan?" says Harry....I suppose it is done to give the effect of immediacy - as if the action were happening RIGHT NOW. Instead, I have the feeling of crawling behind a sand crab as it meanders across a beach rather than an overview of the action and purpose of the story.I advise anyone caution in buying this book.
