Title: Recommended, with reservations
Product review: "City of Light" is a wonderful, richly detailed evocation of a fascinating time and place; what it isn't is a great mystery. I'm a huge fan of the mystery genre, and would have preferred either more surprises, or revelations that were...well, surprising. That said, Belfer knows how to write, which is in itself a blessing these days. Worth the time, but don't expect plot twists and shocks.
