Negative Positive
Title: Doesn't live up to its potential
Review: I have to agree with another reviewer about this book. It's badly in need of editing, both for copy and for content. I too, had problems with a character who was supposed to be such a good editor/publisher using such terrible grammar. There is no mystery to the story; it's obvious "whodunit" very early on. The characters could have been much more interesting had they been developed; I could not get invested in them at all.The author also has several phrases of which she is inordinately fond, and she uses them way too often. The restaurant where the town gathers has no name and not much of a description; it is referred to as the "local gossip corner". Over and over. And although I did manage to make it to the end of this book, if I had seen the main character refer to herself as "this old gal" one more time, my kindle would have been in great danger of being thrown across the room.Two stars for a decent premise, minus three for execution. Glad it was free.
