Review: Slow-paced pretension
Rating: 2 out of 5
Date: 10 1, 2011
This edgy (a despicable sex act is mentioned) mystery was ruined by the pages of redundant details that had very little bearing on the story.  If you are "into" college Dons and the Halls of Academia, the setting at Oxford University may be enough to keep you satisfied.  If not, you will find the main character insipid and the rest of the characters as hollow and implausible.  On the plus side, there were very few gramatical mistakes (unusual for Kindle books) and the author can certainly write.  However, the pluses were not enough for me to like this book.
