... . Ho-hum. Another mystery novel masquerading at first as a popular novel. Mr. Mayor is capable of far, far better, I am sure. I almost slept my way through this novel. It's a slow starter with only sporadic action near the end. The charactors are so ordinary and preditable that I have trouble remembering them, and I only just finished the novel recently. Sad, so sad. The book is well-written as far as style and technique go, yet the whole thing comes off as a sleeper. I'm yawning, something I almost never do when reading or thinking of a recently read book. Some people read so they can get to sleep; I read and am wide awake, normally, in the absorption of the material.

Sleepy flags to Mr. Mayor. Try again?

"Yawnnnnnn." (Wake me up when it's over, will you please? I think I'm going to take a nice nap while I wait.)
