Hilariously bad, yet strangely compelling. Kendra makes zero attempt to blend into 1815 society, and yet everyone just automatically accepts her as just being “American”. It makes no sense! The whole story was SO DUMB, yet I felt a need to finish it to find out what happens.
Given all these issues, what, then, might be considered this book???s redeeming factor? After all, if I claim to have finished it, and indeed, enjoyed it, why have I mentioned nothing but negatives? The reason is that I am writing this review with a much clearer head than when I read it. I write this fully recovered from my illness, and therefore better able to see all the problems I missed while I was ill. But then, it does say something about the book, that I was able to tolerate it while I was sick. It is sufficiently entertaining, at least: the main plot is a tidy, if somewhat unoriginal, murder mystery, and there is some fun to be had in that. As long as the reader does not think too hard about the finer details ??? which is what tends to happen during illness ??? then he or she should find be able to derive some enjoyment from this book.
