Emery Hazard and his partner, John-Henry Somerset, are a mess. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m making steak a lo pobre. And potatoes. And salad.\u201d <\/p>\n

Stomach rumbling, Hazard said, \u201cI\u2019ll take the first two.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cAnd a salad. I\u2019ve seen your refrigerator. Do you and Somers even own anything that grew in the sun?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cDoes hamburger count?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s almost Thanksgiving, but Somers takes the last call of the day, which ends with Hazard and Somers trapped in a mansion. With a murderer.<\/p>\n

If these books were not self-published and inexpensive, I’d be screaming louder about the editing.<\/p>\n

Or more accurately, the lack of editing.<\/p>\n

(sigh)<\/p>\n

Yet the story is so good I can’t stop reading, even as I’m going back and trying to figure out continuity errors.<\/p>\n

But only one thing really really pissed me off, and that was Hazard getting concussed, and Somers making him go to sleep.<\/p>\n

Seriously. Who in the world doesn’t know that you keep someone awake after a concussion, at least if you want to be sure they wake up again?<\/p>\n

Both Hazards and Somers are badly damaged, which keeps me from hating Somers. Even as I want Hazard to Stay. Away.
