Book Reviews of The Lizard's Bite
Book Review: A mess of a mystery
Summary: 1 Stars
Some books literally scream for the firm attentions of a good editor and this is definitely one of them. I have read two previous books by this author and thought that they were passably good police procedurals in exotic settings (one of my weaknesses). This book however is so badly written that, had I not been away from home with nothing else handy to read, I would have given up on it more than once. Hewson repeats tired descriptive phrases over and over again (eg. many a"crumbling palazzo"), his characters are pasteboard, the plot is tortuous and the dialogue is stilted. Hewson has good writing somewhere in him but he should search for a publisher who is willing to pay an editor to check his every sentence.
