Review of 'Sinnerman' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

Every once in a while I need to read something mindless like this very lightweight crime thriller, the second in a series of books about Private Investigator Sloane Monroe.

I've said this before, and I'll probably say it again: authors of Kindle freebies need get their work professionally edited.

--"Grizzly" instead of "grisly"
--"Shuttered" and not "shuddered"
--Confusion between "pour" and "pore" (not just once, but several times)
--Blatant misuse of apostrophes and commas
--Implausible plot points (the protagonist enters a murder suspect's home, where the police have not searched and the front door just happens to be unlocked; the abrupt brush-off Sloane gives her live-in boyfriend, Nick)

These very severe weaknesses are redeemed by occasionally snappy dialogue between Sloane and her BFF, Maddie.
