Title: Thrilling, and fascinating to boot
Review: Gruber merges (seemingly authentic) anthropological observations and seat-of-the-pants storytelling in this very unusual, totally riveting, take on the detective novel. Towards the end of ToN, the whiff of the supernatural is a little stronger than Publisher's Weekly would have you believe. But the setup is so intelligent that the ending at least seems credible -- albeit stretching the limits of credibility. ToN is unputdownable, a masterful piece of fiction.
