Review title: A boring, predictable waste of an intriguing premise
Product review: The story itself sounds interesting: a murder mystery set in 1800s New York, featuring a variety of characters that includes Theodore Roosevelt. Unfortunately, it's presented in such a routine, pedestrian manner that one trudges through the book with little excitement. Worse, Carr's obsession with the seedier aspects is particularly grating.
