Cheryl Bradshaw: Black Diamond Death (Paperback, CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform) 3 stars

Review of 'Black Diamond Death' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Really not bad for a free Kindle download.

But, like most Kindle freebies I've read, this one could have used some copyediting. There were missing commas and apostrophes, trite phrasing ("a fire beguiled me to absorb its warmth" -- really??), odd usage ("rolly polly" rather than "roly poly"), and flat-out errors ("we poured over the files").

Griping aside, this was a quick, easy read set in the ski town of Park City. The book opens on the slopes but never returns there. The heroine, PI Sloane Monroe, is spunky (of course), has an intelligent, sensitive boyfriend (ooooh), and the perfect little dog (awwww).

There were two other books in the series included in the Kindle freebie, which I may get to some day.
