Title: Disappointing and over-rated
Product review: I'm surprised this book is compared by the publisher to sublime THE NAME OF THE ROSE and THE MONK. It's really quite thin gruel, packaged as something substantial.Despite the references to fog and dark corners and such, the Gothic atmosphere was barely present, and while the multi-layered plot is quite ingenious, the clues are so incredibly obvious in a few places (if you've read more than a handful of mysteries), I felt embarrassed.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
