My Review:
I’ve got a few things to say about Jameson Hesse’s new
novel, WHISPER OF CROWS. Some great, some, unfortunately, not so great. First, the great part: The novel is wildly
imaginative, the characters exciting and well-developed, & the plot a
nonstop barrage of twists and turns almost beyond comprehension. I’m a huge fan of crime noir, and this page
turner has plenty of that. And it’s very, very
dark, which I also enjoyed.
OK, now the critique: In my lowly opinion, the author’s use
of verbiage could use some spit and polish. Some of this books content I found
unnecessary to the plot as it interrupted the flow of the text, and more
importantly, the dialogue. And my
biggest pet peeve, misspellings. There
were quite a few, and I found it tough after a period of time to overlook them.
Now don’t get me wrong, I really enjoyed
this book, and would happily give it a four to five star review, after this book gets a solid and
comprehensive edit of both its content and it’s grammatical problems.
I thank you, Mr. Hesse, for a thoroughly engaging thriller. Please find a
competent editor and you’ve got an absolute winner!
