Review title: Interestingly Disapointing
Product review: Was Carl Heine murdered? If so, by who? This is the core of the story. Meanwhile, the author was so intent on showing the reader how well he did his research that he constantly used unimportant nautical terms few are familiar with, added prolonged environmental descriptions,long and excruciatingly detailed flashbacks that constantly drained the flow of drama, and extensive character development that often weakened the plot instead of strengthening it. This story could have been told succinctly and dramatically in 200 pages. I felt constantly distracted by this method of presentation, was annoyed that the drama was interrupted so often by unnecessary detail, skimmed through half the book, and still was able to retain the crux of the tale.
