review 1: A blind historian makes an unusual protagonist for a thriller, but author Kris Langman makes Dr. Joanna Adelman believable. The story is told from Joanna's viewpoint, and her adjustments to her blindness give more depth to the character and the plot. Many of the other characters are equally interesting. I also appreciated the history and geography of Boston that were brought out in the story. The last half of the book was heavy on action, only some of which logically followed from the events of the first half. All in all, though, it was a fun book.I received a complimentary copy of this book in order to review it
review 2: The Gsotynin Shul is about a shul (synagogue) and its history. The heroine in the story is a blind historian on Judaism and its artifacts. ... morethe story starts with some papers delivered to the historical society in Boston, MA that come to her. (the Zielinski papers) that speak about the Gostynin people and the shul. The papers say that the shul is not owned by the people who say they own it and are going to start a construction project there.I was left hanging by the book. It seems to me that Langman let the story get away from her. It turns from a historical book about a building and its story to a mystery about who is going to kill whom and how it is going to happen.All of this happens because of the shul but you are not given more information about its history. I liked the book but think that it could have used a little more "story." less
