" An interesting take on a crime novel. The manner of the plot progression and the way in which Christopher remembered his childhood were interesting devices in Ishiguro's talented hands. However, I found an unevenness in the story that I could not resolve. By conveying the story in the voice of an unreliable narrator, Ishiguro paints Christopher as something of a fool. Yet, we are to believe that he is a brilliant and well-renown detective. The disjunction of these two personalities made the story somewhat hard to swallow. "
