Title: No Substance All Shadows
Review: The pain of continually anticipating this book to develop proved too much and at page 194 I put myself out of my misery by firmly shutting it and pronouncing it done. Admittedly, I have engaged thistechnique previously but always with library books or paperbacks bought at the half price store, never with one for which I had paid full price at a boutique bookstore. The pain of losing $14.95 paled with progressing onward amongst a totality of unlikable characters, sentences packed with gratuitous verbiage striving to impress the tortured reader and the absence of any developing plot that draws one in with finesse.
