Review title: Exciting But Obvious
Product review: I read this book the month it was published, and once I began, I couldn't stop reading, despite the fact that in some sections the prose read like a lawyer, not a novelist, wrote it: lots of colons, semi-colons, and long narrative descriptions. Nevertheless, I was driven on by the plot: I absolutely wanted to know what happened to the main character. Approximately half way into the book, I suddenly realized: "Wait! If what I'm told is true, only one of two people could have committed this crime." In fact, the murderer was one of these two people. I found it a bit disappointing to know at the halfway point, with certainty, that only one of two people could have committed the crime. I would have liked to have been in suspense longer than that. Still, it was a great read, a tours de force -- I highly recommend it.
