Review title: A choking morass of dull detail and flat characterization...
Product review: I took the time to peruse most of the other reviews before I wrote mine. There are a lot of people who love this book. Okay. I won't criticize this. However, I was only able to perservere for about a hundred excrutiating pages, decided to skip to the tedious predictable ending and see what happened, then rushed that sucker back to the library furiously pleased that I hadn't spent hard currency on such dishwater. As dull a mystery, as boring a lump of historical detail, as paper-thin a job of characterization as I have ever seen in a best seller. Two questions remain: "How?" and "Why?"
