Book Reviews of The Murder of Helen Jewett
Book Review: A weak story poorly written
Summary: 1 Stars
The author tried to add depth to a shallow story by flooding it with distracting detail. I kept waiting for the story to develop, but it never did. You'll know as much about the crime, its characters and the relevant social matters after 50 pages than you will after finishing the book. To top it off, the author has a painfully awkward style of writing.
