Wow @LibrarianRyan is one awesome Litten! I love my prize and I got a letter with it! You are so amazing!!! This book turned out pretty good as well. A few editing flubs annoyed the heck out of me. But it was a complex mystery that the authored handled decently. It tied up too easily though and I hate when the solution to the mystery is told by one character to another rather than resolved in the action of the narrative. 3 🌟🌟🌟/ 5.
How did the editor not catch this? Page 121: MC has broken glasses and can only see a "bulky figure" whom "she could not make out the details of his face." She and this man walk to have a cup of coffee (with no stops to repair the broken glasses) so two pages later, page 123, MC can see the man's "nostrils quiver with the slightest agitation." Really??? He's a priest, so no, they are not in a loving embrace. ?
The first paragraph of chapter 3 is a wa-a-y overdone attempt at "atmosphere." I nearly #threwitacrosstheroom for what we folks in Texas call "hokeyness." Get over yourself and get on with the story. Needless to say by the next paragraph the author abandoned most of the "atmosphere" and it hasn't been seen since. And the book has markedly improved for it. Why didn't an editor chop this idiotic paragraph?
What a haul from the used bookstore last night!! I haven't found so many wonderful books at one time in such a long time. Do any look good to you?
