Title: The main mystery is how this book got published...
Review: Was it ghostwritten under Tremayne's name by someone with little knowledge of grammar and spelling, not to mention syle? Was it rushed through to make a fast buck? Was there no time or budget for a copy editor? Could this pseudonymous Celtic scholar really not know the difference between "affect" and "effect?" "Lie" and "lay?" Was someone trying to sabotage his reputation?I am only 1/3 of the way through Valley of the Shadow, which I eagerly anticipated, having read all the preceding ones in the series. Now, I'm not sure I can stand to finish it. While the others could have used a good editor, the stories were engaging enough that I could overlook a few mistakes for the sake of a good escape.I hope the writer and publisher heeded the critics and hired an editor for subsequent editions. I do want to continue to occasionally get caught up in Sister Fidelma's world...
