Review: 3.5 STARS I WASN'T MAD ABOUT IT

I am disappointed that the author didn't bring this one home in a big way.  It has the potential to be a very strong and powerful read, but for some reason it just didn't develop that way.The story of a Baron being driven mad by opiates and being left to languish in the country without any help has great potential for mega reprecussions and yet the author let it get away.  SHe has a wonderful foil in Florrie the second story burglar and gentlemen's daughter who stumbles upon him in one of her raids and yet she doesn't use this to the greatest extent.  Florrie rescues the Baron and slips away.  It goes on from there and it a bit hard for me to swallow.  The wonderful opportunities become a wishi-washy, humdrum tale that should have been a wonderful hoot.I would not say don't read it because it has it's wonderful moments, but I suggest you use caution and if you don't expect too much you will probably like it well enough.
