📕My Review
This book started out as a good crime story told from the perspectives of the three main characters - stalker Ashley, cop Bruno and the mysterious Brown. The target of Ashley's misplaced affections, Rosie, is found brutally murdered and it falls upon cop Bruno to catch the killer.
At times it's difficult to follow which character is doing the narrating and I found the author's writing style unusual. Whilst the plot is good, it's spoiled by poor editing and a huge amount of grammatical errors. It's a real shame because these errors would be relatively easy to fix. On a more positive note, the ending is excellent and for this reason alone I have upped my rating from what would have been a 2 out of 5 to a 3.
