This was ok. I feel most of my dissatisfaction was with the pacing and the relisation that Arthur basically set up this easter egg hunt after his death for his niece and most of the people he knew. It's disappointing really seeing as how it could've been resolved by being honest with his FBI contacts in the beginning. Moreover, why just letters? Why not use photographs, video footage etc to collect the evidence? There's no mention of the book not being set in the present day outside of the flashback stories. The set-up is interesting but delivery was poor.
