I love a novel where "Everything is connected" in some way...where there is delicious twisted subtle irony in the interactions of the characters. However, this book is not that book. The set up of the story is colorless and plodding, and there was scarce reason to care for anyone, except for a few characters who had departed. The resolution was a strange mixture of predictable and incomprehensible and in the end, there are no real surprises. I was sort of puzzled to see that the author is considering making this the beginning of a series, since the characters were in no way likeable or memorable.
