Customer Reviews

lacking nuance and depth

To me the characters are flat and their interactions are clichéd. Whatever personality, emotion, or history the author imagined the main character, John Stone, to have never quite made it onto the printed page. The supporting characters were trite stereotypes. While I didn't expect something of the rare quality of Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch, who really knew how to work cold case files, this book missed the mark entirely. I have learned that the three lines on the back page "Made in United States, Monee, IL, 02 January 2021" means it was self-published and printed by Amazon. I think it's great that people can see their writing in print, but at least in this case, it was a disappointment to try to read. Sorry to say I got bored and didn't finish.
