Review title: The drowning reader...
Product review: This is an ungainly hyrbid between a schmaltzy romance that doesn't charm, and a thriller that doesn't thrill. Add to that a tendency to pontificate on grand themes in a pompous, dated style and you've got a real disappointment. I almost got through it, determined to get my money's worth, but in the end I just couldn't. This is one annoying book.
