Title: Weak, unimaginative, and not at all challenging.
Product review: I wish that I had read the Kirkus Review before I read this book. I couldn't have said it better myself. I have to wonder if Earl Emerson is running out of ideas. I have enjoyed all of his books in the Thomas Black series, except for this one and the Million Dollar Tattoo, and this one was a major disappointment. The "twists" were predictable and too easy, and the "who-dun-it" left me saying "Who cares?" I found it to be a very weak story, and hope that Mr. Emerson has some better plotlines still up his sleeve. This one wasn't worth the time I spent, not only reading it, but waiting for it to come out.
