I agree with the points you brought up.... the cover is great. I don't think you should have to "dig" for the story. ;) Nice review Jenn… I agree with the points you brought up…. the cover is great.

I think I voiced nearly the exact same complaints in my review. At least part of it was definitely a marketing problem, though, and not the author's fault. We’re of the same mind on this one.

I read most of it on planes to and from NY one weekend and found it totally abosrbing. I do think Hill's publishers did him a great disservice by marketing this book as anything but literary fiction.

Even the mystery was a bit disappointing. If I were solely looking for a mystery I don't know how I would have finished it, so god job.
