I have read two Tallis novels (both "Liebermann Papers") now and have found both to be very average. I doubt I'll read another.

I don't find them particularly suspenseful, nor is there the depth one would expect in a story that has a few different, unrelated plot lines and numerous characters. The historical aspect seems really contrived, particularly - but not only - in regards to the excessive number of food references.

I did enjoy the two main characters and their relationship, which is probably what got me through the book...that, and the fact that it's a light, easy read--good for the beach or as a soporific when you just need a little something to help you fall asleep but are too tired to concentrate on anything better.
