A review by ragne
The Ides of April by Lindsey Davis

3.0

The premise for the story is good. I could have been a great crime nivel. If only the main character hadn't been stupid.
I don't know if it's the author who's not very good at suspense writing, or if it's deliberate to flatter the reader by making the "clever" character reach conclusions slower (like in "the DaVinci code where it's so blatantly obvious it's actually insulting), but it's still really irritating.

Also, enough with the bad romance stuff already!
