Christine Falls, by Benjamin Black

2.0

I didn't really love or hate this. This read much more like a literary book rather than a thriller or a mystery. Dr. Quirke begins to investigate the death of a young woman who appeared in (and quickly disappeared from) his morgue. What he finds is secrets, secrets close to the heart of his family and secrets that cut at his own heart. Overall, I found the book to be very flat - lacking substantive climaxes or suspense. Timothy Dalton's narration was superb, but didn't make the book unforgettable. I would hope that it's better on the page, because it was definitely lackluster on audio.
