Review title: Listen when the author makes apologies for his work in his own preface
Product review: I read the preface of this book before I started to read it, something I almost never do. In it, the author make excuses for his effort, saying it was his first novel. That should have been a red flag. I should have heeded the warning. The story is ridiculous, and the ending even more so. It reads more like a bad soap opera than a mystery. I just didn't buy it- not the motive or the person he finally picked to make the killer. Find something else to read, by another author.
