It got better as it went on. The typos are annoying.

The rating is mostly based on the plot and characters. Well done. Not some boring heard it all before story. The typos were noticible.

The story itself gets 3.5 stars - some good one-liners and a fine ending. Was disappointed by the number of typos in this e-book edition, however, especially as it has the HarperCollins name on it. There were enough to disrupt the ease of reading in the last half of the book. It clearly didn't even get a proof read before it went up.

There were many, many typos. It was interesting, but I kept thinking "There are so many grammatical and spelling errors!"

What can I  say?  I did like the plot, a nice story that even though it won't stick to your mind as one of the best books ever read, it helps you pass the time nicely... but I found typos galore!!  I was surprised that the author and editor didn't catch those. I believe I coundted seven in the entire book --- just letters misplaced in the word (like "news" instead of "mews" --- things like that.  That took quite a bit out of the pleasure of the story itself. Am I picky? Maybe.
So, buy it if you wish because the story is cute, but you are warned.

I just finished reading Saving Bobby and finally gave up highlighting all the typos and grammatical errors and just tried to ignore them. I wondered if the errors occurred due to the transition from hardcopy to ebook, but for whatever reason the end result was, at the very least, distracting. The book was okay, but I'm not sure why it was "award winning."

I enjoyed the story but due to the many typos it was very distracting.  I hope the next book will be better.

Initially the plot and story line were interesting, but near the end, it got a little farfetched when it came to the female cop's deductions and reasoning to solve the crime. There were lots of typographical errors in the printing of this story. They should have had a better editor.

I am halfway thru this book and would probably enjoy reading it more if there weren't so many typos and grammatical errors. It really needs a good proofing, as I hate reading a book with duplicate words, misspelled words etc. But I will finish it then maybe try to read it one more time to see if I get anything out of it. The proofreader in me is reading it now, which means I get nothing.

So the story plot was really good, didn't want to put it down, but the typos were annoying, that and the use of words such as gladder. Is that even a word? The other thing was the story seems to take place in America but they were referring to each other as mate. I also think there should have been a little more to the plot, it seems like this book was just thrown together really fast and released to soon .

One thing I would suggest is the author fire their editor.  Way too many typos. Spend the extra money, your readers are worth it.

The text could have used an editor. Several typos, misused phrases, and jumbled thoughts. It was alright, but I can't recommend it.

It was a good story. There were some misspelled words including the name of the main character. Perhaps it was autocorrect that made the mistakes. Proofreading is a good idea.

Am I the only one here who are bothered by the numerous typo mistakes? It would have been more presentable if there were editing. But I did enjoy how the characters are molded, and also the storyline. And Once again, the book would have been better if everything didn't happen this soon and more substance was in the content.

Mystery = fair/okay, and characters are still enjoyable.  My complaint is that the electronic version has even more typos than the last in the series and this one has numerous words that are words, but the wrong one for the sentence, e.g. familiar when it should have been familial, veracious when it should have been voracious.  Some may quibble with this complaint but it shows that copyediting wasn't done and it fractures the reading experience for some of us.  Please fix such problems for the next volume.  Murder mystery was pretty low-key compared to the introduction of new characters and whether or not Jill & Greg would move in together, more like an after-thought or plot device.

There are few rough spots (parts that lose your interest but you have to get through them to understand the rest of the book), and lots of typos.  Overall it was a nice addition to the series.

As far as content goes the second instalment of the series was a big improvement over the first book. The story was moving along fairly well until the second cliffhanger.

I am begging the author, please go through these books again and at least fix the typos if nothing else. When a book is written with typos and grammar errors like this one is it really reduces the effect the book has on its readers. I know personally I would have enjoyed it much more if I wasn't constantly having to re-read sentences because of missing words etc.

As much as my reviews may have sounded a little harsh, I only mention these issues because they are easily fixed. If would be a shame to allow a series to be less than it can be because the author doesn't feel the desire to proofread the work before publishing.

All in all so far it isn't too bad of a series considering it has been free so far. Will I read the third one when it comes out? Dunno, maybe if its also free.

There were a lot of spelling mistakes.  I was able to pass them but a better editing job would have been good.
