Not a big fan.  There was a little too much of a history lesson to this book than the usual murder and mayhem I enjoy.  I did find bits and pieces interesting, but I felt like it took away from the whole mystery, as if the crime was a side quest.  However, the fact that Lara didn't see who the murderer was right from the start was wild to me.
