Helpful Score: 3

This book had such promise. Every other chapter describes an object with mystical qualities known to be owned by a famous ancient alchemist. The book begins with the death of a mysterious professor from Estonia in Eastern Europe. A small town reporter, initially seeking only to write an obituary, begins to find more questions than answers. Unfortunately, the author does not follow through on this exciting premise and leaves the reader very unsatisfied. If you are interested in this book, you might want to check out _Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell_ by Susanna Clarke.
