Title: Can't do it ...
Review: finish it. I've tried. Schlink is a terrific writer. I enjoy his literary writings quite a bit, but I bought this one by mistake (assuming it was more literary than crime fiction). I'm not a PI fan and have pretty much no use for PI novels. This one, laced with what I found wanting in "Homecoming" by the same author, a tendency to be overbearing with introspective questions, made me shut the book and shove it in my briefcase this morning (alongside my drumsticks, which I wanted to take out and play to the Diana Krall recording of "Frim Fram Sauce").My bad ... I'll stick with his literature (and be more careful when buying on amazon) ...Definitely READ his literary novels, amici (they're very good) ... READ something, amici ... always READ
