## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Not Bad!
  

*by D***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2022*

This story reminded me of an Agatha Christie type novel and I had fun reading this story. A little different from her past DCI Ryan stories, but still very entertaining.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    excellent
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2022*

I didn’t think I would like this story because I didn’t think the usual characters would be involved, and I would miss the. But Ryan and his team are in this story solving murders within murders. I did not suspect the real suspect! Lots of twists to this story!

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Good plot ideas, multiple weaknesses in the writing
  

*by B***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2020*

I've given these books a lot of opportunity to reflect growth and improvement in narrative skills by the author, but it just hasn't happened. I'll cite just two negative aspects here.The first, as at least one other reviewer has observed, is the author's lazy use of "they" as a neutral singular pronoun in order to conceal the gender of the character to which it refers. It causes confusion on the part of the reader and is entirely unnecessary. Example: " . . . he had since learned to appreciate the benefits of having a business partner. Conscious that he was keeping them waiting . . . "  All the author had to do was use a few more words, such as "Conscious that he was keeping that partner waiting . . . " This misuse of "they" occurs throughout the books, and I have yet to find one case in which a minor wording change would not take care of it.The second annoying issue, minor as it is, occurs so often that it creates unintended humor. Continuing characters in the stories are frequently startled by the arrival of another character. They spill their drinks, nearly fall of the boulders on which they are sitting, turn suddenly with surprise from tasks that are being given their full attention . . . it goes on and on. But it does nothing to advance the plot. The spilled drink doesn't destroy evidence or documents, no one actually falls off a rock or out of a chair, and it isn't a response attached to a specific character that sets us up for some important action further on.  It just happens over and over.Annoyances aside, the stories are well-plotted on the whole. As long as the books are deeply discounted, I will probably go on reading them. But there are many more-skilled authors out there deserving of our attention and our money.
