Agnes Barton/Kimberly Steele Mystery

review 1: On the plus side, it's a fast read and the basic story line was pretty good. However, the main characters (Jeremy and Kimberly) were not very believable and I found myself not caring for them much (she was a bit whiny and the stereotypical blonde, and he was a horse's rump). The senior investigators were a trip and I wished they were more involved in the story. They brought some color and excitement to the scene with their quirky attitudes. Overall, it was ok, but I'm not so sure I'd try another of this author's books.
review 2: This was a free Kindle book and I suppose you get what you pay for. It is simple little story about a pregnant woman, Kimberly, who is newly wed to a man that isn't the baby's father. Both she and her husband keep repeating through... moreout the book how they fell madly in love yet neither seems to know anything about the other. All we really know about her is that she is 6 months pregnant and wears heels. Her husband is "a recovering alcoholic" who seems to always have a drink in his hand, although this piece of information doesn't seem to have any purpose. In short, a murder takes place and two senior citizens are hired to "clear Kimberly's name." There are a number of characters in the book but none are developed. We really don't know anything about any of them. Most of the book is dialogue with very little descriptive information provided. I admire anyone who can write a well thought out book but I feel this book needed some heavy editing and proof reading. There were many errors in the book, such as using "you're" for "your" or a piece of dialogue which correctly starts with quotation marks but there are no quotation marks to end the piece.All in all, a rather poorly written book. It might be a good beach read, as it really doesn't require much thought or attention. less
