Wow!
This is a very, Very, VERY good story. So many authors, particularly those who have been trained in so-called "creative writing", go on and on, page after page, describing in detail everything in sight, but they really don't have a story to tell. Not so with this one. Regardless of how the early going may strike you, press on and you will be richly rewarded when it's over.
The grammar is surprisingly -- particularly considering the author -- dreadful and the syntax is as garbled as any I've seen in a while -- maybe ever -- but that doesn't besmirch the fact that there is a very cannily-crafted story being told. It would make a GREAT movie. Let's hope someone makes it.
Wonderful. Great fun. Don't miss it.
DAMNED BY THE LACK OF AN EDITOR
This short 184 page novel advertised as a `mystery' has none of the twists and turns normally expected of a good mystery. Not even a smidgen of suspense. Incorrect punctuation, bad sentence structure, confusing circumstances and odd and choppy dialogue, is also a put-off.
I doubt an editor ever saw this manuscript before it went to print which is a shame. The characters are poorly drawn and one has no sense of who they really are except for dribs and drabs that read like they are taken from an outline that may have been prepared before the story was even started.
No one knows why Ansell and Eileen's marriage is a shamble (after all he is only twenty-eight). Their dialogue sounds more like a couple who have been married for forty years. Who is Melanie Caine, really? Where does she come from and why was she doing the things she was doing? None of this is made clear leaving the reader with a meal that is missing the meat and potatoes.
The only thing that can be said for this `mystery' is that it is a very quick read.
