Reviews

[Adrian Griffiths · Rating 2 out of 5]

A woman visits Prague only to be mistaken for another missing woman who is seemingly her double. Rather drawn out story-wise, not much happens apart from endless strolls about the city of Prague and loads of travelogue-style detail and history lessons. The most our heroine has to do is manage the attentions of two lusty suitors. It's literally not until the last ten pages that something exciting finally happens to her, but it's then immediately over, as the book comes to a close. Not very good.
