The Eyre Affair
by Jasper Fforde
The next book might be better, but my biggest issue with the book was that it wasn’t a mystery as advertised. It’s a crime book for sure. There are some good sci-fi parts as well. However, it doesn’t really have any mysterious elements the audience can solved. You follow Thursday as she tracks down the book’s villain. It isn’t even a “Howdunnit” either as there isn’t some trick to revealing the criminals. Also, the romance elements were bad. Thursday’s character is pretty good, which makes me give the next in the series a chance, but dear lord… for the all the story parallels, Landen is NO Rochester. For being written in 2001, the romantic elements make this book seem like it was written in the 60s (not even the 80s when it’s based).
