review 1: I finished this yesterday and can't even remember what it was about. Shallow characters. By the 4th book I don't feel like I have any idea what the main character (Cindy) even looks like - isn't she blonde in some books and redheaded ("auburn") in others? Maybe I'm just not paying attention, or I'm distracted by the grammatical errors (this is why people shouldn't edit their own books)and paging back to see who said what because the author can't keep the dialogue straight. Mattheus just sounds like a self-involved arse.
review 2: This was a free book offered when I activated my Google Play Books account. The setting was captivating....St Bart's at Christmas. The mystery was also intriguing....the murder of a Senator's daughter. The case was littered with many ... moresuspects from a childhood friend to a Russian mob boss and a whole slew of off-balanced family members. The result did not mix well with the potentially fascinating mystery. It reminded me of an old movie from the 70s or a really bad "Night Gallery" episode where the island's elite are shallow, cold and even crazed humans who may present a steady, pleasant and helpful outer facade that holds dark and deadly secrets below the surface. The story didn't seem to really go anywhere and there was no real character development and I particularly disliked Cindy for being such an idiot about Matheus and treating their partnership like it was a romantic experience and being consumed with jealousy over him talking to a red-haired woman which was part of doing his job while she went around alone trying to solve the crime, making poor judgments, and getting into sticky situations. And somehow this was Matheus' fault? If they were truly partners they should have worked together on the case. it got just plain silly. While I never really got a clear idea about who the killer might be, when it happened I could see the outcome like a sunny afternoon in July. It was disappointing that it ended in a melodramatic fashion. There was really no suspense at all.What bothered me the most about this book is the absolutely abysmal editing throughout the entire book. This is #4 in a series and we get this sort of low quality in a book on Google? NO EXCUSE for that at all! I can accept an occasional missing article but on just about every one of the 277 pages of the novel there were either an error in spelling, grammar and even mis-use of words. How can anyone not notice the mis-use of the word "heroine", the term for the good girl in a story for heroin", the drug which was what was meant in the story? On more than one occasion Cindy's name was interchanged with most of the female characters and that caused some confusion when reading. I realize "you get what you pay for" but even free wasn't cheap enough for this train wreck of a book. I won't be reading any more n in this series, thank you very much Google. I can't believe you would allow that kind of inferior product in your ereader stock and can say with a straight face this is a great mystery! less
