Review title: below par Slade thriller
Product review: I am a big fan of Slade and find his books thrilling, informative and sometimes nightmarish. His style is to integrate into the story a lot of background on the places, people and events in the book. In earlier books this exposition has been balanced and did not distract from the plot. However "Burnt Bones" was more exposition than plot. The story could have been very frightning but the jumps from storyline to historical facts was not well planned and diminished the enjoyment of the story. I like Slade's style and most of the factual material is quite interesting, but when it completely overshadows the story it is annoying. I still am a fan and have his two latest books to read this summer. I hope more emphasis is placed on telling the scary stories he is famous for in these two.
