Kate Carpenter Mystery

review 1: I wasn't overly impressed with this story. It was an average story. It took quite a bit of work to get through this book as it was written in first person limited, and the main character didn't really know a whole lot of what was actually going on. She also took a lot of unnecessary risks. I hate it when characters who are supposedly smart do idiotic things. I did like the setting, the author did a good job exploring the physical landscape.The eBook had some formatting problems in the page number area. Sometimes a page turn would advance the count 1 page, sometimes as many as 7 pages. No obvious spelling errors.
review 2: This story is about a Front-of-House Manager at a theater in Canada that decides to investigate a murder that happened during a play s... moreo that she can clear her boyfriend who is a suspect in the case. I am really glad that this book was free on Amazon because I would have been ticked if I had paid for this. The story itself had potential but the execution was poor. I felt like the main character was written to be similar to Stephanie Plum in the Janet Evonavich books in that Kate (the main character) is the least likely person to be investigating this murder and is a little flaky with all sorts of bad character traits which come off as humorous and endearing with Stephanie Plum. Not so much here. She was just annoying. The editing wasn't great either. Poor sentence structure and repetition. Things that I can see in a draft but that should have been cleaned up before being released. I finished because I really just wanted to see how the author did it. Will I read another? No. less
