Title: Did Not Live Up to the Hype
Review: I had trouble putting down this book each evening. Although the writing is mediocre and the descriptive passages are too long and obviously padded, I was propelled by the misguided expectation that the solution to the mystery would be logical and satisfying, neither of which is true. The disappointing revelation of the identity of the murderer is almost an afterthought, the unlikely relationship between the protagonists is nonsensical, and the ethical decision forced upon Faith is the stuff of romance novels. A sensible person would have made another choice. A Trick of the Eye was a disappointment, since I invested considerable effort in searching for it on the Internet, having been inspired by Diane Rehm's interview with its interesting author.
