In a Small Town

I find it ironic that were I to quote the language used repeatedly in the first chapter of this book Amazon would refuse to publish my review. The use of this language adds nothing to the storyline and makes the author and his character appear vulgar and crude.

Sargent Friday Matt isn’t. When your superior officer acts outside the law and your captain appears to condone this kind of behaviour it places you in a rather compromising situation. Matters are complicated in a small town where two people constitute the entire detective department. Scratch an Italian in Hutchville and you probably aren’t too far from a mafia connection. Discovering that the FBI is sniffing around only thickens the plot.

Someone seems to have cleaned up the grammer and spelling since some of the other reviews were written but the language and situations described are not for delicate constitutions. The book still has a weak ending.
