A review by violinknitter
The Jewels of Paradise by Donna Leon
I really enjoyed the first Leon book I tried, so I was looking forward to this one. Besides the fact that I really like the musicological tidbits (yes, I am easy to please, and so far Leon seems to have gotten most things at least mostly right), the story is slow moving so far, and the characters are fairly boring. Le sigh. Hopefully this will get better.
[After finishing the book] Meh. I can't even decide whether to give this book two stars or three stars. The story never really drew me in. The ending could've been both clever and surprising if I still cared about the characters by that time, but I didn't care.
