An Unpardonable Crime by Andrew Taylor
1.0
Essentially DNF'd at about page 185. The "unpardonable crime" of this novel is that it's almost 500 pages long, and you don't even get to anything resembling a mystery till sometime after page 100. If this book was meant to be historical fiction and was taking 100 pages or more to get to any real themes, that would be one thing, but for a mystery novel, hmm...
I see others have very much enjoyed the book, but I might have also, as the story certainly looked like it had a lot of potential. But ultimately, I would say this book had a "failure-to-launch," at least, within a reasonable window of time. Moving on.
