Interesting But Hollow,
By
This review is from: Mysterium (Mass Market Paperback)
The town of Carrick is well sketched, but the twists and turns of the plot feel so contrived that it doesn't draw you in to really care about the mystery.Definitely not a mystery novel and the characters aren't realized enough for this to be a good fantasy-esque novel.
