Title: I just don't get it
Review: Although I liked the author's descriptions of the fictional NYC Paddington Hotel and the surroudning area, I just couldn't get into this book....The parallels between Salinger and Fairborn were just too contrived. The plot was way too convoluted for my tastes, and, like other reviewers here, I thought the author worked too hard to make the dialogue "cute."This is the first Bernie Rhodenbarr Mystery I've read. I will give the others a shot, simply because I miss having a rogue now that Lawrence Sanders is gone.This one just didn't do it for me.
Is the review positive or negative?
