Black Heart: A totally gripping serial killer thriller

After just 70 pages, I've found this "story" too painful to read. Misspellings, missing words, inverted grammar, flourishes that make no sense ("retrospectively weary"? Suggestion: "weary.") I'm too distracted by the poor writing to continue. Well-done prose reads seamlessly. To say that's not the case here is an understatement. IF there's a promising storyline, I'd suggest Anna-Lou recycle her ideas in cahoots with a professional writer/editor. A pro will also teach her how to keep her facts straight ... and to "retrospectively ditch" the cliches! My recommendation? This has all the earmarks (and then some) of winging it, meaning that she probably sat down at a keyboard and hoped that a story emerged. I give "Black Heart" two thumbs down. Added later to review: I was so thoroughly baffled as to how this ever got published that I looked over the book again, and AHA! Self-published!!!!! Anna-Lou, you li'l snot, you owe me $7.
