2.0

The problem with this puppet show is the strings are visible at all times. When a bunch of mystery writers get together to make an Exquisite Corpse novel, they can't resist nodding to each other in the prose, and it gets tiresome and repetitious. The hero will have you rolling your eyes as well, not only for what a caricature he is, but also for how dense. This wasn't terrible, just very basic and forgettable.
