In two words: badly written. Here's a few more: stock, cardboard characters and poorly developed plot plague an interesting idea for a story. There are many other time travel or mysteries that are good reads, but this is not one of them.

This book started out well, but quickly devolved into a thin romance, excessively detailed world building, and a book that would been better with 200 pages cut out. With that said, the author is a tale talented writer, so perhaps the next book in the series will be better.

Really enjoyed this sequel to “Three Men in a Boat,” although nothing can really hold a candle to that!

“Magpie Murders” is a really fun mystery (within a mystery) with great characterization and lots of surprises. It only took me a few days to read and I'm into the next book in the series already!

So, so poorly written. For a book about a couple falling in love in some nameless, war-torn city who are then whisked to Greece by magic doors, this sure is a snore. No one should have to struggle with sentences containing 9 “ands.”
