Nah, I don't believe in asking my money back for something that is just a crappily written book - it's the risk I take when I buy a book without sampling it first (and if I wouldn't go to a brick-and-mortar bookshop to ask for my money back just because I don't think it's well written, I wouldn't do that with ebooks either - I'd only do that for serious formatting issues or if I'd bought it accidentally, I suppose).
I can see why others would, though, in a similar case. (I think this was an Amazon imprint published book, Thomas and Mercer perhaps? so... self-published and then picked up by Amazon, I think?)
I am considering just leaving it though and maybe returning to it later, just to find out who killed the person who got killed and why...
