Title: What a come down! (of sorts)
Product review: I've loved other books by Coe but this, an earlier effort, had me going until the very final pages when I felt things fell apart a bit; this, a four-star rating. The missing star is for the disappointing finale. Until the finish, however, "The Winshaw Legacy" is a great read that has all of Coe's strengths: biting social commentary, engaging characters and the ability to have this reader fall off his chair laughing when Coe delivers another unexpected one-liner.A word of warning to the casual reader: if you're looking for a murder mystery tale, this isn't exactly what you think it may be despite the cover and description. This is a much more detailed novel than that and you have to wait a long time to get to the chaotic events the cover illustration promises. It's worth it, of course, but is not the majority of the novel.
