Stone's Fall by Iain Pears

2.0

---

Finally made it to the end by sheer force of will. I wish the business dealings and espionage had more of a payoff by the end of the story, however it was likely always to pale to the twist Pears had planned for us. Parts 2 and 3 were more enjoyable as they had more likable narrators but all 3 parts could have used a healthy dose of red pen to cut unnecessary bits of plot and description that do little to serve the larger story. Although an interesting tale, the pace was way too slow for my taste.
