I didn't read this book when it first came out.  After reading some of the reviews, I thought it was time to check it out.  The first few chapters held enough promise that I bought the book, but once Bill and Lily left her apartment, the story did not hold my interest!  I found it hard to read, boring, and found myself skipping pages in an attempt to find something to catch my interest.I am not sure what i think of Lily, she seems weak and whiney to me.  I agree with some of the others reviews that the constant recitation of quotes got rather old.Bill IS funny at times, but for the most part he is (as another reader described him)obnoxious and vulgar.Tallis is just annoying....period!  Trying to understand his dialogue is just too much of a struggle and I found myself skipping past it.I have enjoyed HP Mallory's other books, and I really wanted to like this one and write a good review, but I'm sorry HP, I really can't this time.
