Review of 'Ex-libris' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

A generally favorable impression. Quibbles were the book's DanBrownishness, and the sometimes jarring transistions between 1st and 3rd person. What was appreciated was King's acceptance of the intelligence of his readers, and the great sense of place in the book. (I had found some prints of Nonsuch House on the internet and brought them to the meeting. It was surprising to me how big it was - four stories tall and completely overarching London Bridge, and extending far past the width of the bridge.)
