An okay tale. Not much mystery, not much excitement...

I listened to the audio book from Librivox. It was good, but I wouldn't call this a mystery. More like a tragic romance with some comedic bits thrown in. Some parts made me laugh out loud, especially parts involving Tug Whittle. I would only give it one star as a mystery, but as a romance, three stars since it was enjoyable.
