Title: Amazingly inept attempt at adventure
Product review: Beneath all the metaphors, similes, and unendingly long and unnecessarily descriptive passages, there is a story, but if you don't die of boredom trying to find it, you will surely lose any sense of continuity. Ms. Barr should take a lesson on how to tell a story with wit and purpose from Patricia Cornwell, who can bring life to characters and impart needed historical perspectives at the same time. After reading reviews of this author, I borrowed three of her latest books, this being the first I read. I doubt I'll bother with the other two. A total letdown, and I am a very patient reader with less than excellent authors. Pass this up and get the Kay Scarpetta books instead!
