Candlelight Vigils: The Foundation

by Shayne Kelly

Transnational crime groups in concert with corrupt government officials align against the investigative efforts of DEA agents and US Intelligence officers. The lines have been drawn between the international crime groups to protect an elusive international narcotic trafficker and those intent on stopping him. Countries are in imperil while the international trafficker and his associates push the boundaries to achieve their goal through civil and proxy wars. However, the US investigators realize that the trafficker not only has support from the corrupt governments, but from a power they have never experienced. Will they receive additional aid in time to stop the criminal organizations and the evil trafficker. After 26 years of service, Shayne Kelly retired from the DEA. As a result of his international investigations, Shayne Kelly worked in numerous countries. He holds a Bachelor Degree in History and Criminal Justice and a Masters Degree in Criminal Justice Management. Prior to working at the DEA, Shayne Kelly was a Police Officer with the Houston Police Department.

I thought that the description for book 3 sounded interesting, so I entered the Goodreads giveaway for it.
After being notified that I had won a copy, I purchased the first two books in the set.
I soon realized that all three books suffer from the same issue - not well written and boring as anything.
Not even the dialog is interesting - and there are a ton of incomplete sentences plus thoughts and points of view jumping all over the place.
Maybe the author will re-write the stories into something enjoyable to read.

This was a Goodreads giveaway win - Thank you.

I offer my apologies. I have struggled to read 17% of this book and just could not get interested. It was difficult for me to follow. Based on the reviews I have read where everyone thought it was great, I can only apologize; it's a me, not you situation. Thank you.

Tries too hard

I feel like this could have been written better. I feel like the author is trying to bring humor into a topic that isn’t humorous and tries too hard to make jokes that don’t land. This book just want for me.

Thanks to the author/publisher for gifting this book. Although the topic was interesting, I found this book a little difficult to read. Rather than fiction, it read like a textbook. If you are interested in the ways illicit narcotics are smuggled, this book may be for you.
