I was actually quite disappointed in this novel. I realize it is based on a true story. The factual story is actually quite close to the novel. The main differences include, the instrument of death, as well as perhaps the “romantic” history and the “ghost”.
I felt this novel was much too simple to take as long as it did. By the end I felt they were beating a dead horse. I get it! I get it already! STOP!
If I missed the “point” of this novel I appologize. I personally will NOT be reading this one again. Sadly I feel it could’ve been a short story for all it actually contained.
