Review: Written Off by E. J. Copperman

A Mysterious Review of Written Off by E. J. Copperman. A Mysterious Detective Mystery.

Review summary: The premise behind this first in series mystery is a clever one, but the crime that the lead characters are solving is based on a foundation of overused clichés. On the positive side, the characters are well-drawn in a familiar manner without being stereotypical, and the crisply written narrative and snappy dialog are a pleasure to read.
