Review title: Only mystery is...
Product review: ...how this book found a publisher. I used to live in Pgh, so I thought this book might capture some of the unique flavor of that city. It doesn't. The author's powers of observation are illustrated in a passage where the narrator, who is visiting Lake Erie, remarks on the tidal movement of that body of water.Flat characters. Contrived plot. Goes nowhere. This is one "coming of age" novel that remains stuck in adolescence.
