I don't know if it's really fair to rate this book yet, as I'm only on page 80, but it almost seems to have been written by a not very talented and not very experienced ghost writer. Long and clumsy passages are used to summarize the action without interspersion of any dialogue that might make the story believable or even memorable.In one instance when there was dialogue to further the historical part of the story, a it ended so abruptly that I thought someone forgot to write the end of the chapter. It's only when Kinsey comes back into the picture that the story becomes a little more lively, and you begin to suspect that Sue Grafton might have written this book after all. I've read thousands of books and very, very rarely have I fallen asleep while reading, but this one does the trick. Maybe it will improve, but it hasn't gotten off the ground in the first 80 pages and I don't hold much hope. So far, very disappointing.
