Really Really BAD Mystery
This is pretty much the worst mystery that I have read in some time. The author is correct, this book is not for children. It isn't for adults either. There are so many plot holes, unrealistic events, and an unbelievable sequence of events. I could begin by pointing out the errors, but I would be here all day. I love a good mystery and this one started out pretty well. But, soon it took a left turn and became pretty ridiculous. The author has a compelling writing style, but if she wants to write a mystery she should research more on police procedure, forensics, hospital procedure and writing a structured mystery that is actually a mystery. It was no surprise to me who was behind all of the murders in this book at all. It was very disappointing. I read the entire book and there was no redeeming quality at the end. Really too bad. I can only hope that this writer learns from her mistakes, but since she has written a series of these books, I fear that she has not. I was able to purchase this book on Pixel of Ink's facebook page for free and I want a refund. I cannot imagine anyone reading this book and enjoying and actually paying for it. I saw that there were actually positive reviews and I was stunned. I can only hope that this review will save someone time and money.
