Title: Melodramatic Twaddle
Product review: Being a big fan of Steven Saylor, I purchased "A Twist at the End" after having already read all of Mr. Saylor's "Sub Rosa" stories and other ancient Roman mysteries with relish. Approching this novel with an open mind, the book started with a lot of promise. I was expecting a good mystery but instead the story got bogged down with a lot of melodramatic twaddle that sadly misses the mark. The storylines are too spread apart to form a cohesive novel. I found myself skipping whole pages of prose that to me were excessive and unnecesary. It got to the point that reading "A Twist At the End" was too labor intensive.
