Title: Better than an old magazine
Review: This was the first and last book I will read by Joan Wolf. It was a poor attempt at what promised to be an engaging historical mystery. The characters are flat and the story lacks the details that could have made this a much better book. Someone who does not normally read mystery or history may enjoy this. Let me amend that to say someone who does not read much at all would enjoy this. It may seem interesting compared to an old magazine in a doctor's office.The story is nicely paced and does not drag too much; however, that is really the only favorable comment I can make about this book.I really wonder how this book was even published; it is not a professional effort.
Is the review positive or negative?
