  • Great story line!

    I really enjoyed the story and the development of the characters. The reason I chose 4 stars was based on editing, or lack thereof. Having not much room to complain, I still hear my high school or was it junior high English teacher about proper sentence structure. While I’m horribly adept at run on sentences, it’s the incomplete sentences that I see. I did read other reviews and some I may agree with, others not so much. The maturity level of Pinky (love the nickname) is spot on with young adults. Especially those who experienced a childhood trauma. I believe she will grow and develop with help from Agnes and Kitsune.

    Interesting, but a lot of unanswered questions as to what the killer will be charged with.

    Good plot and storyline. Frustrating with names and pronouns of characters mixed up especially at the end and typos. If these were corrected it would have stronger rating. Since this seems to happen with many cozy mystery books I’m wondering if AI s being used to edit and making significant errors and making it harder to get into the story. I’m found other reader ratings mentioning the same issues. Publishers should know better.
