Title: A Twist in the End
Product review: As one who loved Saylor's Roman mysteries, I purchased this book with great anticipation. The plot, concerning O. Henry and a true series of murders in 1884 and 1885 Austin, Texas, seemed intriguing. The beginning was great. Unfortunately, the story itself seemed to wander and, without giving too much away of the plot, the murders seemed curiously remote form the main character. In addition, the indentity of the murderer (or murderers?) becomes clear all to early in the book. I awaited the twist promised by the title, but found it predictable. Still, the book is worth reading.
