I wanted to give it a chance as it was highly recommended to me by a friend. Then I got my hands on the paperback and things went much quicker...but I didn't enjoy it as much as I had hoped. It just didn't grab me...OK story, OK characters...the blurb seemed to make Margo the main character but I felt she was very vanilla and not that exciting. In reading other reivews it appears that Pendergast takes a bigger role in future books, which is good as he seemed to be more fully developed. Not rushing out to get the next one, but might give it a try down the road. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/869060?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
