Review of Ten Percent
Cody Clifton is the next big thing in Los Angeles. After struggling through countless auditions, he finally lands a role as Chuck Dallas, PI. At the same time, Detective Max Calderas is searching for The Coyote, a serial killer running around the streets of LA strangling prostitutes. Shelly Monroe is a former child actor and Cody’s agent, and things aren’t going so well for her. When Cody joins the big leagues, her life begins to look up. However, when Max’s investigation leads her to Shelly’s office, things could end up very badly for her.
Ten Percent by D.L. Bruin is an exciting thriller/mystery novel that will keep readers on the edge of their seats.
I thoroughly enjoyed the writing in this book. The author did a wonderful job of setting up the characters and their storylines. Each of them was well-developed and it was easy to care about what was going on in their lives. Cody was especially well-developed, with a lot of the book mainly revolving around him and his acting career.
My only critique is that it took a bit too long for the characters’ stories to intertwine. It was halfway through the book before the storylines started to twist together. However, some readers may enjoy that, as it prolongs the suspense. Other than that, I found this book to be an exciting read. Unfortunately, I did find quite a few errors, and I believe another round of editing would benefit the book.
However, the things I enjoyed outweighed what I didn’t enjoy. If it weren’t for the errors in the book, I would easily give it a perfect rating. But for now, until that is fixed, I will happily rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.
I believe this book is best suited to mature readers as a result of the sexual themes and exceptionally strong language featured throughout the book. Additionally, readers who enjoy a good mystery/thriller would find this book interesting and enjoyable.
