2.0 out of 5 stars
It could have been better,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Fish Kisser: An Inspector Bliss Mystery (Paperback)
What to say? The plot could work, but there are too many side plots. What on earth is Trudy doing in there? I suppose showing us what a horrible guy LeClarc is, but she doesn't really do much for the plot in my opinion. In both this and "Missing Presumed Dead," by Hawkins, there are too many internal maunderings/ruminations going on that are nearly impossible to distinguish from the conversations that they interrupt.But worst, for me, is the absolute abuse of the English language that appears in both books by Mr. Hawkins. Missed capitalization (not capitalizing sentences that are supposed to have been written in all caps), missed lower case (leaving a sentence in all caps that should have been in lower case), poor spelling (train fair, for the money that one uses to pay for the train), misapplied apostrophes, and just plain bad English! And this, in a book in which several times journalists were criticized for their use of the language. Sorry, but for me that detracts from a book, and it was detracting enough to keep me from enjoying the book. |
