Might be interesting for those who have an analytical mind - and understand forensive anthropology! 
Slow, no excitement, too complex to be entertaining for the average reader Thrilling and just keeps you guessing Difficult to get in to at first A taut plot, a page-turner. A ittle slow to start Fast paced, action packed Tries to be like James Bond, not quite as good though Has something to say, the author is an old pro Lacks a little lustre Well written to make this an enjoyable, interesting read with atmosphere Plot not necessarily the strongestA Series of Unfortunate Events No. 10: The Slippery Slope - Lemony Snicket

A delightful read, that should put a smile on the face of even the most sour faced grinch! Embarresment caused by guffawing while reading in a public place!
