missjenniferlowe 's review for:
A Rising Man
by Abir Mukherjee
For the most part, I enjoyed A Rising Man. Sam, the main character, while not without flaws, was a good guy and an able detective. The mystery is very solid, but which I mean the clues were laid out fairly and it was a good puzzle to work on, and I greatly enjoyed the historical details. But, wow, was this book slow. Despite the fact that the book takes place over a relatively short period of time, I felt like we were just meandering toward the solution of the mystery. I hope that some of the pacing issues are due to this being the first book in a series and that the pacing will feel more natural in future entries in the series. The writing was excellent and I have high hopes for the series.
