1.0étoiles sur 5 Fly on the wall, Nov. 9 2003
Par Un client
I did not enjoy this book as much as the rest of his books. It took me a long time to fully understand the characters in the book. The other day, I heard this book being compared to a glass of water. This person said, "It is like water. It really has no flavor, but at least it goes down quickly." I agree with this because overall, I did not like this book.

2.0étoiles sur 5 Read Hillerman's other books instead, Oct. 27 2001
Par Susan R. Cakars "sanpablos" (San Pablo, CA United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This story is set in an unnamed Midwestern city. John Cotton is a reporter at the state's capitol. One of his colleagues tells him he is working on a really big story. Shortly after this the colleague falls several stories and dies. This starts Cotton investigating the same leads. Then another one of his friends is killed while driving Cotton's car.

I found this to be a very slow book. The characters were not well developed. Cotton's attraction to Jane seems to come out of the blue. Also, I had difficulties following the leads in the beginning. They were very technical.

The political intrigue did not get interesting until about 1/2 to 2/3 way through the book. One issue covered in the book is how much political corruption, stealing of public funds, etc. is allowable if it serves the purpose of getting or keeping the "better" politician in office.

Tony Hillerman's books set on the Navajo reservation are better. The characters are much more well developed in those books.

2.0étoiles sur 5 Not one of his best, Mai 25 2001

This review is from: Fly on the Wall (Audio Cassette)
I enjoy the Hillerman Navajo mysteries because the characters are well developed. Not so in this book. I found the first half really boring and hard to get through. The characters were not people you could care about, an important issue for me.
