JUMP CUT by Helen Grant

I got this book because Helen Grant writes the occasional story for Supernatural Tales and they've always been well written. No surprises, them to find that Jump Cut is too.
   It's a take on the supernatural that I've not come across before - which is saying something, given how many books I've read. I half-guessed how it was going to end, but the slow-burn build-up of the overall plot never gave too much away... just enough to leave you wanting to find out more.
   I had one editorial complaint, which is that there are quite a lot of sentences like this:

..."You're quite pretty," she announces, "But you don't look well."

So either that second comma should be a full stop, or the 'B' in 'But' should be lower case. Picky? Maybe, but I kept noticing this particular punctuation error.
   That aside, this is a book well worth reading. I shall tell the author so.
