Four Dead Queens

I really liked the concept of this book, but I felt like it fell apart a bit in the execution. The murder plot builds up some decent tension but the revelation partway through that things weren't being told in chronological order kind of killed the suspense. The characters were okay (though there were way too many viewpoint characters and the antagonist was ridiculous) but the romance was so embarrassing, and the plot twists near the end kind of strained credulity, even for a science fantasy setting.
