The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie

Do you ever want to stop reading a book but feel guilty doing that? Why is that? I expected to like this. I'm a big fan of British television; this is clearly a British novel. I guess for me it works as a visual, but I am giving up on it as a reading adventure.

BUT.... if you like cerebral mysteries, you will like this. And I will likely return to it when I am feeling a bit smarter.

HERE is a book trailer done by the publisher. It's great!
