This was an excellently twisted tale that really kept my attention, but had some flaws. The writing style was very difficult to read. While the author had a good grasp of developing a story, the delivery needs some work. The author does not write conversation well, this caused me to stumble over parts of the dialogue. It just wasn't natural and that detracted from the book. I would also have loved to have seen some more solid character development.
This was an entertaining enough story and a pretty quick read. I picked it up because it is set in my surrounding area of the Gulf Coast. It was, however, pretty shallow and the detectives seemed borderline incompetent. Not alot of substance. The story itself had some decent twists, but it never played out well enough to make it satisfying.
