Thank you for those kind words. It is a shame but hey, sometimes you can't win them all.Rayasaurus wrote: ↑12 Jan 2020, 19:40 This review was a joy to read! It's unfortunate that the characters don't seem to connect; relationships are often my favorite part about a book. Thank you for the wonderful review!

I can't help but be slightly curious about your editors' scores. It seems what they dislike most about my reviews is ... me. And the fact that I never seem to keep it under 1000 words. But I hope you won't stop being you and tell us all that we need to know to pick a book, no matter how many words it takes you.
You've done a wonderful job. Thank you.
Sincerely, Laura-Lee
"You are worthy to take the book,
and to open its to seals,
for You were slain and have redeemed us to God,
by your blood, out of every tribe and tongue and people and Nation." Rev. 5:9
NKJ & KJV

There are a lot of typos, I can assure you, though not in this one, and I've learnt to cut down on a lot of fluff. Thank you for your kind words though.LauraLeeWasHere wrote: ↑13 Jan 2020, 00:14 I think if there was a vote on most honest review, you'd take the top prize. I always find it so refreshing when I see the reviewer's personality come through and you do that with fireworks, while at the same time still doing the more objective aspects of book reviewing. Like counting swear words.

Fair enough. Thanks for reading!Brendan Donaghy wrote: ↑13 Jan 2020, 08:22 Thanks for that very balanced review. I'll probably give this one a miss, as I tend to like books which are strong on characterization.

Yeah. I'll be the first to admit that I'm bad at mysteries in general, but this one kept me turning the page to find out the perpetrators!unamilagra wrote: ↑17 Jan 2020, 18:17 It's too bad about the unlikable characters, but it really speaks to how amazing the mystery itself was that you still came away with such a positive overall view of the novel. Thanks for your honest review!

I can relate to that. Thanks for reading!kandscreeley wrote: ↑18 Jan 2020, 12:18 I've never been good at guessing mysteries. The red herrings get me every time, so I know I wouldn't see the end of this one coming. Even with the obvious errors, it sounds like it's one to read. Thanks for telling us about it.
