I almost bought it, so I am glad I didn't.

Of course, that was for a novel.Bookloggedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00651016653247142255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30712145.post-61955767887816587742010-05-31T11:35:32.729-06:002010-05-31T11:35:32.729-06:00I read this and was in two minds about it.

I was fascinated by the development of the detective as outsider hero idea that later became so pervasive in English writing.... on the other hand, the murder story was not as interesting as I had expected and i felt that the suthor did not explore it as fully as she could have done. there was a bit of a difference between what I thought the book was and what it actually turned out to be and I think that was at the route of my semi disappointment... <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your interesting anc candid review<br /><br />HannahHannah Stonehamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11139146341592918233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30712145.post-6540373985807771952010-05-30T01:11:34.091-06:002010-05-30T01:11:34.091-06:00I have a copy of this book but haven't gotten ...I have a copy of this book but haven't gotten to it yet. I really appreciate your thoughts on it as I was under the same impression you were about the book. Now I can go into it with different expectations. Hopefully when I do get to it, I won't fall asleep as I read too. :-) It's been known to happen.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.com
