Title: Disappointing
Product review: This book started out strong, and really grabbed my interest and held me. But the last fourth of the novel was hugely disappointing. I loved the development of the interesting characters, and the descriptions of NY during the dawn of electrical power. But the fascinating murder mystery was tied up in a way I found hasty and unbelievable. And the story's ending was depressing and anti-climactic. Why introduce two romances and spend pages developing them only to have both of them go nowhere? Why get us to invest our sympathy in the life of a charming and courageous heroine only to have her make mundane choices that result in such a dull and sad ending?Though I enjoyed most of it, I would not recommend spending your money on this book.
