Publisher's Summary
Tom Pasmore, ten years old, survives a near-fatal accident. During his long recovery, he becomes obsessed with an unsolved murder and finds he has clues to solving it that he shouldn’t. Lamont von Heilitz has spent his life dealing with mysteries, until he wanted to know nothing more of the terror of life and the horror of death. When a new murder disrupts their world of wealth, power, and pleasure, the two must form an unlikely partnership to confront demons from the past and the dark secrets that still haunt the present.

"boring boring boring"
Too bored to finish this book, I could care less about a boy and his criminal investigator mentor. Progresses very slowly too, and the author fails to create any emotional attachment to the main character. Narrator is also a bit too zealous for my listening preference.

"Straub Does It Again"
Another good mystery by Peter Straub. There are some interesting social/economical conflicts played out in the story as well as the unraveling of some family secrets including murder.

"Very confusing and slow; hated the reader."
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?A better description and a better reader.
What could Peter Straub have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?I think the story line was very meandering and hard to follow.
What didn’t you like about Patrick Lawlor’s performance?His narration and the way he portrayed other characters just didn't work for me.
