Review: Tedious with lackluster adventure
Rating: 2 out of 5

I love modern mysteries with action and adventure that are tied to history.  I've read quite a few from various authors and was really looking forward to this novel.  I was disappointed.The writing is much too detailed into the trivial things.  Other authors have masterfully described locations and settings with the right words to evoke the scene in my mind but in this novel, too many words are wasted trying the describe every little detail and this distracts the reader so much that many times I'd have to reread to restart where I was.  There were many pages in the middle of the book where no action at all took place and I almost abandoned the book but I wanted to stay with it.Overall, I think the book would be great if it were about 1/2 as long as it is and the characters were involved in more mystery and action.
