This started out with quite a lot of promise. There was a very good hook to get you into the story, but it just dragged its feet to the end. It's a quick read, so I would give it a go if you think it sounds interesting. I do like the use of old photographs, but I am not entirely sure you can fabricate a story out of them; sometimes I felt like I was given a photo just because the author had it in his stash and wanted me to know about it, regardless of its relevance to the plot. I guess I was hoping for something a bit more like Carnivale...a bit more mad.
