I read mystery/thriller/horror stories all the time and I didn't see this ending coming.
Review by: Doug Pardee on Apr. 13, 2010 :
I gave up after two chapters, so I suppose there could be a good story here. All I know is that I can't deal with the writing any longer.
The blatantly ignorant misuse of commas was a major factor. Each paragraph averaged a half-dozen commas stuck in it that didn't belong there. I'm counting comma splices in that; I don't think that Mr. Simon has a clue what the proper ways to join two clauses together are.
And I thought that *everyone* knew that each person's speech gets its own paragraph. Putting an entire dialogue exchange into a single paragraph is confusing as heck.
The story-telling was also deadly. The first two chapters were almost entirely exposition and backstory. Not a hint of tension anywhere.
I recommend that you take a look through one of the 'View' links above and see what you think before you download this one.
Also, for some reason, the EPUB version of this wouldn't let me select the font to read it in. The only available font was a sans-serif.

Enjoyed this mystery very much. I thought I had it figured out at times and then my thoughts would change. Great cozy type mystery. There is some corse language in parts for those that are bothered by it
