Title: Buy this book-it's the perfect kindling!
Product review: Cornwell courts the unusual here, and I don't mean unusual as in the latest twisted killer or another gore flecked Scarpetta autopsy scene. I mean the quirky inhabitants of an isolated island. Did I care about the characters? Nope. They seemed forcedly strange, too bizarre, too crazy swampfolkish. Did I laugh? Nope. The jokes were heavy handed. Plot? Argh, matey. It lost my interest. Excuse the pun but she is way out of her depth in this island based allegedly humorous tome. This is all harsh coming from a Cornwell fan like me, I admit it! I had hoped the story would get better but I was disappointed and felt that my time was wasted. Don't make the same mistake!
