Chain of Evidence by Ridley Pearson

1.0

---

Omg, this is a ridiculously awful written book. Emotionally tone deaf beyond belief, three sentences written when one would do. Pearson can write action scenes and knows his technology - his strengths as an author. I've finished reading six of his books, and while I've rated them from four stars to one, they ALL have terrible emotional tone-deafness despite the presence of constant, over-the-top soap opera emo, and half of them include sentences similar to: 'I went to the store. I stopped at the store to shop. The store was the place I shopped at.' The hot women all have high big breasts. Word usages are often truly odd; i.e. "She leaned back and caught eyes with him." page 229. This police detective mystery has all of that going on. I couldn't finish it. His spy thrillers, for some reason, are better written, even though they also have the same problems.

I guess if bad writing isn't a problem for you, it's ok otherwise. A waiting-for-a-bus book, if it doesn't make you titter like a crazy person and cause people to edge away. O _o
