THE FIRST SHOT (DEDICATED TO DEATH SERIES BOOK 1)
by E.H. Reinhard
3 stars
Homicide Detective Carl Kane is on the hunt for a killer, starting with the murder of 3 gang member/drug dealers and 2 of their mothers.
This feels like it was made for young readers. The dialog is simple and repetitive. Such as the author writes dialog to a phone conversation, then he has Kane repeat the conversation to his partner, and then again the entire conversation is repeated for the squad captain. He could have just said " I told the captain about my phone call with the M.E."
It made me feel as if the author thinks his readers are too dumb to remember what was said a few pages ago.
Also he uses acronyms too often. (DB, GSW, etc.)
The story line was pretty good. I like who dunnit mysteries, this one let you know in the first chapter who was responsible.
