I dunno, I was excited to read this but it feels wordy and wandering...and prurient if that is the right word? A weird #POV...
The #chocolate is helping...
Love the tweet, just wish people still believed in using capital letters. #petpeeve 📖 ❤️
pickDespite the way the cover looks, the name of the book is NOT Ed McBain #petpeeve Anyway, I have been reading through the 87th Precinct books and thoroughly enjoying them. Quick reads with a large dose of humor. A bit "of the time" in the racism/sexism department, although McBain plays it rather tongue-in-cheek than seriously. All in all, good fun with likable characters.
For me, it's the writing style. If I don't like it, I can't read it.
Not far behind would be characters having really wacky or hard to pronounce names.

#petpeeve I have not read this book. I see this on a lot of books by authors who aren‘t as well known. Putting a subtitle like this on your book (both the description and the cover) is a huge turn off for me. It feels like a hard sell - like you‘re trying to make up my mind for me. I would much rather the description (premise, basic plot) and reviews speak for the book. *rant over*
If you‘re interested, it‘s on sale for Kindle!
“The minister peers down...” THE WHAT NOW???
Jacob Portman and his family are Jewish. We don‘t have ministers. We have rabbis.
If you‘re a goy (non-Jew) trying to write Jewish folks, maybe do some research????? (Can‘t find any suggestion anywhere that Riggs is Jewish hence my assumption he‘s a goy.) #petpeeve
Can we all agree that the simile “like a thief in the night” should just die? I‘ll hold a funeral. Can someone hum Taps. #petpeeve #therehasgottobeanothersimile
