This was a better book in reflection than it was during the actual reading. I often found myself turning pages to move ahead -- bored with some portion of the history. I normally like historical novels and I like current day mysteries, and I like novels written in different character voices -- but this was an overwhelming combination of all of these. Nonetheless I stayed to the end because I always need to know how the mystery is solved.
