Title: Good story - awkward style
Review: As a clergywoman of the same theological bent as Lily, I was looking forward to enjoying a mystery story set in an appoximation of my world. However, I found Michelle Blake's style of writing in the present tense was very distracting and I found that I couldn't get past the second chapter. I tried to ignore the "she goes..." and "he says...", and mentally put everything in the past tense, but had to give up. I might check out further books by this writer but if I found them to be in the same style, I would not bother to read them.
Is the review positive or negative?
