Having an interest in mystery novels set in Nazi Germany and Nazi-occupied countries (i.e. Pavel Kohout's THE WIDOW KILLER, or Philip Kerr's BERLIN NOIR) I looked forward to reading some of J. Robert Janes works. After several attempts to read more than a few pages of STONEKILLER each evening, I gave up and started skipping pages hoping the story would take on some zest. The author was determined to murder his own plot by continually revisiting the crime scenario and making lame attempts to draw every character under suspicion. Finally, I was interested only in finishing the book to get it over with, I skipped to the end and read the last 5 pages. I should not have bothered. I so am annoyed at having wasted my time on this book, I want to e-mail the author and ask him for a refund.
