Title: Mr. St. James
Review: I'm surprised at the many good reviews on this book. Maybe it's just not my style. I enjoyed the book enough to read the entire thing, however, several times, I was tempted to set it aside for a book of greater quality such as Patricia Cornwell or Sue Grafton. I found the story idea to be compelling, but did not find the same with the writing. To me, it seems that he is trying too hard which makes the book almost childish. I did buy both of his books at a book signing and I intend to read the other one even though this one did not impress me. I find that the first book for any author is usually not the best one. Of course, that would be normal as a writer grows and learns during the course of their career. Mr. St. James has promise.
Is the review positive or negative?
