An Irish Murder: The Legacy of Tarring Cottage

Summary: an English teacher's nightmare
Review: I have long been a fan of Irish storylines so I was prepared to enjoy this book. What I was not prepared for, and what made it a chore to read, were the glaring grammatical errors. One or two grammer glitches can be overlooked, but this book has more than it's fair share. First you sloghed through confusing, rambling, wordy, run-on sentences that required two or three readings. Then you were left scratching your head over sentences that had key words missing ,used incorrect words (i.e. past rather than passed),or seemed disjointed and out of context.
On the plus side,the author used some lovely descriptive terms. If you can ignore the errors, you may enjoy the plot.
