review 1: Very period accurate. However, the first part of the book was filled with unecessary fluff, to leave the real plot and action to be quickly unfolded and the end. Definately not a thriller, all the action feels toned down and very slow.The mystery solving, is constantly interrupted by the pointless and boring mundane personal tasks of the main character. Bad character developement, and the final explaination behind the mystery was kind of a let down. On the other hand, the tidbits of accurte history snuggled in the chapters are delightful and in depth.
review 2: This book was a slow to get going but it was worth the mystery that has been presented. There are different sub stories in the book that you wonder, "what if such and such happened" The roles are clearly... more defined. I am not close to being half way through so the plot will only thicken in trying to find what mystery envelopes this tale of disappearance.I finished this book and it proved to answer a small mystery rather than the big one of the missing Judge. This is a true story of a judge who went missing in NY about 60 plus years ago. It is a fact that he has never been found. Interesting to note that there are clubs and organizations that devote their time to solve this mystery. less
