Final Solution: A Story Of Detection
Chabon's attempt at a mystery novella, this book takes strengths and weaknesses from that genre. The major letdown is the loss of all the character developement I loved in Cavalier & Clay. Chabon is really trying to find himself with this book, and looking to stories he admires, but I'm afraid he may lose his personal style in the process.
what book to read next

This was a quiet, contemplative mystery regarding a missing parrot who may know some secret information. While the mystery itself was not that engaging, I did enjoy reading about Sherlock Holmes in his retirement years and how taking care of bees became a solace to him after years of detection. |
