Query: How did this book ever get published?

I have read several books by this author, and found them intriguing enough to keep buying her work. This should have been a typical romantic suspense in the deep south, complete with serial killer and happy ending. From the back cover, that's what it was...but then you got to the actual writing and it was awful. The heroine was weak, and so stupid both her husband and the killer commented on it. The only Southern stereotype that the author missed was blatant racism, but then again, there were no people of color mentioned. Finally, the storyline for the murders was so disjointed it made little sense. Body of trash!
