Title: From High Hopes to High Disappointment
Product review: With a large backlog of books yet unread, but always on the lookout for something different and new, I came across the excellent reviews of THE SOFT DETECTIVE and felt that it looked very interesting, with a good premise. Not finding any of Keating's books in local bookstores to try to judge whether he would be to my taste, I ordered the book anyway. This was one of those times that the chance did not win out. What may have been a good short story was a slow paced and boring novel that, if it weren't so easy to read, I would have put down long before its 270+ pages had come to their own merciful end.
