review 1: This book is a mystery/crime novel set in the era before the war. It does a good job of setting the atmosphere. I found the main character likeable but the rest of the characters were not fleshed out and so elicited no real emotional reaction. It is a good story. It is very intricately plotted, so much so that it becomes quite unbelievable at times. The coincidences become to much, in an effort to make a point. It's a nice point but the story so hits you over the head with it I found it annoying. All in all a pleasent way to spend an afternoon, but ultimately it is not compelling.
review 2: I received a copy of the Yellow Packard through a First Reads giveaway. The premise of the book seemed fantastic, and I was looking forward to reading it. The book started ... moreoff great and I was able to engage with the characters, despite the odd mix of religion in a non religious book. As the story moved on, however, many coincidences occurred in the plot which pushed the point of believability. I felt like the entire second half of the book could have used some stronger editing as there was some extraneous detail which did not help to develop the plot. Overall, the book was ok. less
