The last 75 pages of this book were page turners. However, almost the opposite could be said of the first 290 pages. The author builds the plot very slowly with lots of extraneous material added. If the book had 50-75 fewer pages I would have enjoyed it more.

I notice this a lot with authors, as their popularity grows they think we are losing sleep awaiting their next book and love reading their meanderings. And to some extant they are right. However, a longer book also means it costs more and returns more profit to the author and publisher. Thank God I obtain these books second hand.
