I'm so sorry to the author here because I truly feel awful, I've always hated leaving bad review's but the whole point is to be honest isn't it?? I have never read such a boring book, the descriptions in the book were exhaustively long, the murder's were not badly written but they didn't really grab you either, the character of Ben Wade however is a good one, incredibly likeable, if the author writes another book I will happily give him a second chance to wow me with his literary prowess, but currently he's not living up to my expectations. I'm very disappointed as I was really looking forward to this book. I was so excited when my copy turned up in the post! Never mind Alan, better luck next time.
