Title: Simply too profane for my taste
Product review: I selected the book based on it's listing among the best first mysteries in several of the mystery awards. And while I give it two stars for hints of underlying promise, I gave up after 70 pages. I only give up on about 2% of the books I start so there has to be something pretty wrong (for me - 40 something female avid reader). In this case, it's profanity. Now I've been know to drop a juicy four letter word once in awhile. However, I started to be annoyed with the constant profanity in this book early on. Then I started looking for a page with a profanity - and I couldn't find one in the next twenty pages that I read. Bottom line -- the profanity so distracted me from the plot that I simply could not get into the book.
