Title: Mundane Mystery Makes for an Easy Read
Review: I am willing to bet most readers chose this book because of the famous author. Stephen King is a very talented writer and that talent is minimally displayed in this book, although I have given it only 2 stars.King fails in his most important job of character development. All three of the main characters are immediately forgettable. I think King could have done better with developing his characters. Also, the trivial twists and turns are painfully dull.Reading the book is like listening to a long joke where at the end, it is not even funny and you feel as if you had been cheated out of the time you spent listening.However, if you are looking for 2 hours to kill (yes, I am a slow reader, so you can easily complete this book in two hours), the book maybe better than watching TV.Plot:Two Veteran Newspaper publishers in a sleepy town on the Maine coast tell a story of the most baffling death they had every investigated to one of their new promising reporters.
