Title: Save your money!
Product review: I found this mystery to be boring and obvious. The reader is hardput to like any of the characters, especially the protagonist. Heck deliberately writes the character as a dolt, but he succeeds so much that the reader cannot sympathize with such a naive, whining wimp.If you is interested in MarkTwainology, then I guess this is the book for you. I have little interest in riverboats, and the book seemed to ramble about them considerably.The mystery was the worst part of the book. It was obvious from the beginning what was happening and how it would unfold. Heck dropped so many early clues that I almost didn't finish the book. I have to wonder if he really thinks that readers are as obtuse as that! I was terribly disappointed in this book and would not recommend it!
