I don’t think this book was for me and my judgment is probably being made harsher by the fact that it broke my streak of 6 or 7 books in a row that I loved. The character interactions were engaging enough to keep me in the story, but I didn’t really connect with them. It’s also just not my type of mystery. I like feeling like I can piece together what’s going on, but reading this book I felt the lack of information known by our main character was meant to be the point rather than his driving motivation. If it had been much longer I may have DNF’d. Someone who reads more contemporary mysteries and novels and who likes the suspense of not knowing which drives this plot will probably enjoy it more than I did.
