" This novel, published posthumously, was unfinished when the author died but it doesn't feel that way too much. The plot was a little confusing but most questions were eventually answered, so I don't know what Bainbridge might have changed were she to have lived to complete the book. She uses some of the actual events of the 1960's to augment this story and this tool works but her fictional characters are too quirky-for-quirky's sake, which downgraded my rating. Apparently there was an actual news report that a girl in a polka dot dress was seen leaving the Ambassador Hotel yelling, "We shot him!" and the final third to quarter of the book set that up nicely. I wonder if the book had been finished, would my concerns have been addressed? No one can know but I plan to try another of Bainbridge's books, just to see what her finished novels are like. "
