Lost Things

Finished Scott and Graham's Lost Things. Which was well enough, but gave me all through it an unplaceable lowering of the spirits. The mid-West setting? The late 1920's time frame? The feeling of either myself or the characters being slightly out of focus, so that things failed to jell properly? No idea. But as in Death by Silver, there was an awful lot of getting from point A to point B-- in planes, this time, not hansoms; and I couldn't quite see the point of it. Props however for not taking the plot where I was almost certain the plot was going (to Germany, if you must know); I just wish it had gone-- well, somewhere more interesting to me than planes and dirigibles.
