 Story, Characters & Pacing

I like a good mystery thriller. I do like the characters of Eliana and Savoyin, both of the are interesting and Savoyin is mysterious as are his motives. The pacing was a little slow for me. I also enjoy the setting which is New York City. The descriptive writing sets the tone for the story which is dark, mysterious and gritty. I didn’t hate the book but I didn’t love it either. Something extra was missing to give me that Wow factor!  If you need a quick read, The Meaning of the Murder by Walter B. Levis is available now wherever books are sold.
