I love a good mystery but this is something I would expect from my 6th graders, who are just learning to write short stories.
The author must not have had anyone proofread. She uses the same phrases over and over again. She uses the same wording. If she had used a thesaurus it might have improved the writing. But there is no improvement for sentence structure or punctuation. She will capitalize a proper noun one time but forget the next 6 times.
Very hard to follow with out proper use of quotation marks, periods or commas.
