Title: An exquisitely-made little jewel-like box-- unfortunately em
Review: I kept getting the feeling as I read this book that I was supposed to be impressed by its elegance--an elegant, exotic heroine, living in Paris. Not one, but two men claiming to be an internationally-famous criminal. Spare, sophisticated prose and dialogue. But I just couldn't make myself be interested in the characters or the plot.I can't be more specific without revealing more of the plot, but I just couldn't feel that the plot was interesting or believable. The characters were so sparely drawn that I just couldn't care about them. Perhaps if I were a Muriel Sparks junkie, I might be more excited, but I just wasn't.
