I'm currently at the 47% point of the book and for some misguided reason still attempting to slog through the poor writing in the hope that this hapless, immature, wanna be "hero" shapes up and demonstrates some of the education and training the US Navy invested in him and that a real story develops.
Personally, I like these kinds of stories where small town authorities deal with crimes in their small part of the world.
I have to go back and read a paragraph to reconstruct what was intended to be conveyed because there is a key word missing and the mixed up pronouns gave no hint as to who might have been speaking or acting.
The reader is left if the reader hung on through the bad grammar with a meh.
