Title: Worse than a bad self-published book
Review: I just did something I never do. I returned this book to Amazon. I gave up on it only about 15% of the way in, but by then, I had been so distracted by the numerous typos, formatting errors, conversational paragraphs with no new breaks in them, and more that I had to give up. I can't believe a publisher or an author would let something as error-laden as this go to market. The numerous typos pulled me out of the story--and it was so bad I felt I had no other choice than to return it and insist on a refund, even though I only paid $3 for it. It's a shame too, because I was really excited about this author and had every intention of reading all of her books. I started with this one because it was a good deal and because it was set where I live, in Seattle. But after this experience, it will be difficult, if not impossible, for me to pick up a Linda Castillo book again.
