Mehso-so

This had the potential to be an amazing true crime novel, but it just wasn't. Conversations were written awkwardly and I found most of the dialogue to be unbelievable and bland. Don't even get me started on the typos and grammatical errors. Who edited this book? Don't let them edit any more books. The story is very sad and horrendous, but the quality of the writing just ruined it for me. If you're interested in this crime, just google it.

CocoReads That's too bad--I'll just google as you suggest. 8y
Josie @CocoReads there's not a lot out there about it, but you can read an article that sums the book up really quickly and with quality writing! 8y
Clare-Dragonfly Aw, man, I'm sad to hear it. It sounded great. But bad editing ruins a book for me! 8y

Has anyone read this?? My mom read it years ago and just remembered the title of it. She said I MUST read it because it scared the crap out of her. She knows me so well. I will take all the scary, thank you! Murderinos? Have you read it? It's right up our alley. #truecrime #murderino

BeckyD No, but I will as soon as I can get a copy. I had no idea she wrote true crime. 8y
drbethandherkindle Stacking this while listening to MFM, which seems appropriate 8y
Josie @drbethandherkindle always appropriate!!! I'm about to start listening! 8y
Josie @BeckyD I read the first three chapters last night and it was good! I'm looking forward to the rest. 8y
Clare-Dragonfly I love the #murderino tag 😂 The book sounds great too! 8y
