A review by malvord27
Murder on Brittany Shores by Jean-Luc Bannalec

3.0

This book was okay. I had trouble choosing between 2 stars and 3 stars here. 2 stars for formatting, 3 stars because it's an okay book. One of the few times I wish we had half stars on Goodreads, so that I could rate it 2.5.

Bannalec's American editors do a great disservice to him by not proofreading the book. The translation is not one-for-one. Words run together that should not, paragraphs start and stop at random, words are included that should not be in sentences - it made reading this book quite frustrating.

That aside, the storyline is interesting enough. It's definitely not my favorite series, and while I likely wouldn't have picked up books 1 or 3 to continue the series even if there weren't so many egregious typos, I definitely will not be continuing the series because of the egregious typos. Perhaps Bannalec's books in his native tongue are a joy to read, but in English they are awful.
