The Devil Stone

Wrote a review for

The murder of a family of local old-money, seemingly perpetrated by the criminal equivalents of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, leads to a commune of aging hippies, high-profile international drug smuggling, police corruption, murder-by-cop, and loads of other crimes against readership by the highly incompetent author, "Caro Ramsay" (in quotation marks because nobody would publish anything like this under their real name, I hope!).

The large cast is ridiculously clichéd from their "crooked" toes, "endless" legs, flat stomachs, big breasts, large blue eyes, and, of course, blonde hair. "Adorable" animals, the same plot device used three times inside a single chapter - unless you're either a completionist fool like myself, or had a recent lobotomy, stay away.

I keep reading about publishers rejecting authors. If only they had rejected this one.

One star out of five.
