Murderous Relations [NOOK Book]

good story; terible editing

The plot was interesting and the ending not completely given away too early; however, the mispellings, repeated words, omitted words, etc. were very distracting. The worst problem was that 10 pages listed as 126 were displayed in a single vertical line of print. I still don't know what the actual newpaper story was that led to the discovery of the murderer because I gave up trying to determine where one word ended and the next started. Don't know how this problem occurred or if it can be corrected, but it was a bummer!

Watch out!

Good book! But ther are a few pages where you have to read top to bottom. Its annoying but worth putting up with it to get the full story. It does get back to normal so no worrys.

Save your money!

So many misspelled words, poor grammar, and words out of place it is difficult to read. I am on page 100 and just can't finish the book. It might be good if I could ignore the mistakes. Someone needs to hire an editor.

Not to bad...

I had a really hard time getting into the book and staying intrested in it. To me the writting was a littl off, but that doesn't mean someone else won't like it. There is a hint of mystery to it. It was free, so worth the read in that sense.

reader beware

I am 35 pages into this book and while the plot seems good and the story interesting I do not know if I will be able to finish this one. I seldom don't finish a book.

This is filled with typos, repetitive words and errors that make this book hard to read. I normally try to overlook the occasional typo as they sometimes happen, but this is craziness and this book is difficult to read if typos and errors bother you.

I gave this one star because of the lack of proofreading and editing which make it very hard to enjoy the actual story.

Recommended - plot twits

This kept me going and I enjoyed it in spite of the poor grammar. It's a "who done it" story and I partly expected the killer but not totally. (I can usually figure it out after reading so many murder mysteries.). It's a longer NookBook (492 pages) and worth it.

It had a lot of mispellings, but other than that, it was interesting! I would recommend it.

Highly Recommend

Ms Drake did an excellent job in with her plot, character development and engaging the reader. This book was a read in one sitting for me. I'm looking forward to her next mystery. Thank you Ms Drake for an excellent read!

spirit

what a disappointment, it had to have been a first draft, what ever happened to spell or grammar check???? have never seen so many mistakes in one book, the author kept changing writing styles and when the main character comes off like an idiot its hard to like, this book was far from ready to be published, it,s ashame because i think this writer and story could have been so much better,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,maybe even pretty good with a little more effort, i hope the author writes more but be sure its ready befor you put it out there,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Grwt book

Who did the proof reading for this book? All the misspelled wordd. What romance one moment you ate thinking about him and the next chapter you are in love. I hope the next is better writen

Good story, bad spelling

The storyline was great and the ending surprising. What irritated me was the written words that were misspelled, the sentence that had words repeated one after another, and the names of characters that were misspelled or even changed. I know this author can write, but how about having a competent proof reader go over the transcript before the book gets printed and sold. The story would have been such a joy to read if it would not have been so frustrating to make sense out of some sentences.
