Review title: Not up to Picano's usual level of brilliance
Product review: The author James V. Smith has said in his advice to novelists: "Save nothing for your next novel." Picano took that advice to heart...in his last novel. This one certainly does not live up to his past writing and comes no where near "Like People in History" which I thought was well-developed and very moving. Despite the protagonist/narrator saying how much he loved his wife, I wasn't convinced. In fact, I didn't feel any passion between the 3 main characters. A ghost was mentioned early in the novel...must have been referring to the ghostwriter.
