Hmmmmm, I'll probably pass. I don't care for "uneven writing"; it's annoying.
Speaking of annoying:
Was reading The Gingerbread House by M. Dobner. No "uneven writing" there -- just a very moody author. One minute the setting is calm and brooding, the next second you're tossed into the equivalent of a Mexican salsa dance contest. >:-\ No set pace at all. The author can (and does) switch story mood/tone rather drastically even from one page to the next. As if my husband isn't moody enough. Not sure I'll finish that novel.
Anyway, thanks for the heads up. Likely I'd pass on it due to the date of publication. I have this thing about not reading Gothics past a publication date of 1976...
