This book is terrible. I noted grammatical errors and errors in the timeline. Each chapter heading is a date and in a Monday chapter, two of the characters had a meeting on a Thursday. I guessed the murderer by page 27. The worst offense is that this is a writer who tells what is happening, rather than showing what is happening. You have characters who explain to other characters what a third party has done. You also have a "narrator" who explains what is happening. I will admit, I stopped reading at page 62, so I don't know if it got any better, but with so many books to read I don't want to waste my time on something that I'm not enjoying.
As I was reading, I kept thinking that clearly no one had proofread this book, and it really needed an editor. And how could there be 16 books in this series??? But then I discovered that the author also owns the publishing company and the light bulb clicked on.
