I got off to a slow start with this book. I had trouble liking the detective himself and found the pace of the book to be slow to start. When the author began allowing the other characters to speak up, however, I got more into the story and when Jane Austin was introduced, I became intrigued. Although I guessed the ending (and honest, I'm not one to spend time trying), I didn't mind. I felt the book was enjoyable overall and I will try another in the series.
