Customer Reviews

needs editing---the curse of the spell checker

Oh sure, it's a good story, and oh sure, it's a fun one-evening read, but the reviewer who complained about technical errors just scratched the surface. I have never seen so many errors in ordinary English spelling and grammar as this book has---it has never seen a copy-editor. From needing a peak [peek?] at a document to suffering a balling [bawling?] out by his boss, it wouldn't get past English 1A at any decent school. I found about twenty before I stopped counting. All the misspellings are real words, so they pass, but they are the wrong words, and spell checkers don't know the difference.

Split--brain thriller: Buy it

While you're reading "Honor Killing," one side of your brain says, "Nah, this could never happen." But simultaneously, the other side of your brain says, "Oh, yes it can." It is a rare book that can make yor head do that. Admittedly, I'm of the "yes it can" persuasion and have read Timmerman's non-fiction, but the novel is excellent reading for both sides. He plumbs post-9-11 interagency rivalry and technology in the hands of the bad guys (the good guys rely more on luck and dedication). The bad guys are REALLY scary because they are thoughtful and careful -- Timmerman has history here and it shows. The good guys might be just a little "too good" and a little too good looking. Neither side of your brain will want to put the book down until the end.
