Historical Fiction
The Inner Circle by Brad Melzer

This story just didn’t work for me. I’ve been sitting here for several minutes trying to put my finger on exactly what is wrong with this novel. Sigh…well, everything. I spent a good chunk of the novel trying to figure out who was good and who was bad with all their subplots. In the end it go to the point I just didn’t care. Beecher was a patsy and Clementine so unlikable I didn’t care what happened to her…romance that wasn’t a romance…thriller that wasn’t a thriller…and history that should have been left alone.
